I Don't Know (Remastered)

[Intro] [overdriven electric guitar riff, driving drums, acoustic guitar strumming] (Yeah) [Verse 1] [bass and drums continue, electric guitar plays muted chords] She's still here in the morning light After the things I said last night She don't throw my wrongs in my face Just meets my trouble with her grace And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know [Chorus] [full band, heavy electric guitar chords, vocal harmonies] Why does she love me? Why does she stay? I've been a storm cloud most every day [snare rolls] Is it mercy? Is it fate? Is it blind? How a heart like hers makes up its mind? Will she love me tomorrow the way she loves me now? That's the one thing I don't know, I don't know [Verse 2] [electric guitar lead fills] Mama said I'd be hard to hold Cuz' my mood runs hot and cold But she's steady like a river flows Makes this old house feel like home And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know [Chorus] [vocal harmonies intensify] Why does she love me? Why does she stay? When I don't have much but my name She sees a man I'm trying to be Not the one who keeps messing up, you see Will she love me tomorrow if I fall down again? That's the one thing I don't know, I don't know [Bridge] [organ enters, half-time drum feel] Maybe some questions don't need answers Maybe some prayers don't need results All I know is she's my second chance And I don't want to risk it all [Chorus] [tempo returns to 145 BPM, driving rhythm] So why does she love me? Why does she stay? I'm gonna thank God for her every day If she loves me tomorrow, I'll hold on so tight 'Cause she's the only thing I know that's right She's the only thing I do know I sure do know Yeah, she's the only thing I do know [Outro] [bluesy electric guitar solo, rapid alternate picking, heavy cymbal crashes] [Instrumental fade out]
