Notes: This song was originally performed with keyboard, in a way that allows for more complex
chord voicings. I have adapted it in a way I think sounds best for acoustic guitar.
For example, I prefer Am to Am7, though both are correct, in part because the vocal part often
sings the 7. I tend to play the F(maj7) as an F/C with an open E, because that allows for an easy
change of the bass note to G; otherwise, a straight F with the low root works fine for that as well.
This explains some of the differences from the last version, but I have also corrected some chords
in the pre-chorus and included all the lyrics at the end.

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears... The tears we shed
This is the fear, This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel—do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
(Why ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel
