[verse]
|D              G       |D          G   |
   Let's get pretentious, put on an act
|D             G            |Cadd9   G/B    |
   Let's be portentous and embroider fact
|D            G |D             G     |
   Exaggerate it, dress up the bland
|D            G               |Cadd9      G/B  
   Let's over-rate it, let the critics be damned

Let's get sensuous, put on some airs
Let's drink kahluas and sit bored on the stairs
Let's get excited when we say "hello"
Let's be delighted though it's nobody we know

[chorus]
 |E5    E5   D5/E       |A           G
I don't know much, but I know what I like
 |E5    E5   D5/E     |[riff]
I don't know much, but so and so said such and such

 |E5    E5   D5/E       |A           G
I don't know much, but I know what I like
 |E5    E5   D5/E |[riff]
I don't know much, hmm 

Let's find a market for sparkling wit
Let's make a target of anyone with a hit
Let's keep some secrets, let's make them up
Put them together then break them up

I don't know much, but I know what I like
I don't know much, but so and so said such and such 
I don't know much, but I know what I like
I don't know much, hmm
