I Don't Need To Know chords by City And Colour

Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

(First Verse)

Key:
x = Mute or Don't play that string.

The chords your going to need here are just:

C majorC - x32010
E minorEm - 022000
A minorAm - x02210

It basically goes:

C majorC    E minorEm   A minorAm
I don't need to know,

C majorC       E minorEm       A minorAm
Why the oceans blue or how the flowers grow.

C majorC    E minorEm    A minorAm
I don't need to live,

C majorC       E minorEm        A minorAm   C majorC
Waiting on someone to forgive me for my sins.

E minorEm      A minorAm
Like my father before me,

C majorC     E minorEm     A minorAm
I'm a working man, a working man.

C majorC    E minorEm   A minorAm
But I don't need to believe,

C majorC          E minorEm   A minorAm
In the something that won't save my sanity.

NOTE: When you hear a slight variation whilst Dallas is strumming the A minorAm chord it is this:

|-0-0-0-0-|    (On the 4th repetition): |-0-0-0-0-|
|-1-1-1-1-|                |-1-1-1-1-|
|-2-2-2-2-|                |-2-2-2-0-|
|-2-2-0-2-| x4               |-2-2-0-2-| (Basically just merge it into the
C majorC)
|-0-0-0-0-|                |-0-0-0-3-|
|-x-x-x-x-|                |-x-x-x-x-|

Key:
x = Mute or Don't play that string.

(Chorus)

The chorus is incredibly easy all you need is:

G+G - 320033
A minorAm - x02210

NOTE: After the last A minorAm you play during the verse you basically strum x00000 twice
the first word in the chorus (No) then play the G+G chord. (If you can reach it you can play an
or you can just go straight into the G+G if you want)

But the chorus is just:

G+G
No I don't need I don't need to know, no,

A minorAm
I don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh.

G+G
I don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

A minorAm
I don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

How easy is that!

(Verse 2)

The second verse is the same as the the first pretty much the same 3 chords in the same pattern:

C majorC - x32010
E minorEm - 022000
A minorAm - x02210

It goes:

C majorC    E minorEm   A minorAm
I don't want to live,

C majorC      E minorEm        A minorAm
In a world where faces change from day to day.

C majorC    E minorEm       A minorAm
And I don't want my life to be,

C majorC     E minorEm    A minorAm    C majorC
So full of doubt and misery.

E minorEm       A minorAm
The years now pass without a trace.

C majorC         E minorEm     A minorAm
It's something that I'm learning to embrace.

C majorC    E minorEm        A minorAm
How most bad nights are spent awake.

C majorC      E minorEm      A minorAm
Thinking about how I don't want to live that way.

(Chorus)

G+G
No I don't want I don't want to live, no,

A minorAm
I don't want to li e, e, ea, e, ive.

G+G
I don't want to li e, e, e, ea, e, ive,

A minorAm
I don't want to li e, e, e, ea, ive.

(Verse 3)

For the most part the same as the other verses except for the last line:

C majorC    E minorEm         A minorAm
I don't know but I've been told,

C majorC         E minorEm       A minorAm
That if you don't believe, the devil owns your soul.

C majorC      E minorEm       A minorAm
Well if this is the truth, then to hell I'll go.

C majorC    E minorEm   C majorC
'Cos I don't need to know.
