A        B
I fight, I fight
C#m     E               A          B       C#m E
All my feelings for you all night, all night
 A            B
Don't stare, don't stare
C#m       E               A       B     C#m
I've got feelings for you I hide, I hide

E                    A
But I'll only go so far
B                G#m
I don't have the energy
C#m         B      A
To risk a broken heart
B                   G#m
When you're already killing me

Chorus:
C#m A           E                 C#m
But if there's something between you and me
B        A            E
Baby, I have no time for it
C#m                  B
I'm happy not knowing
A                  E
And please don't stir it up
    C#m        B                A          E
I'm sure it's nothing but some heartburn, baby
C#m                         B
And I'm happy not knowing

All our friends that I know
They've been trying to set us up together
(Up together)
I lie, I lie
I say somebody else would suit you better
(Suit you better)

But I'll only go so far
I don't have the energy
To risk a broken heart
When you're already killing me

Chorus

C#m                     B
I turn your love away 'cause I want to sleep
at night
G#m                       A
It's just like my broken heart is my alibi
C#m                                     B
I'm afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid of knowing
                           G#m
What I'm knowing, what I'm knowing
              F#m
I'm happy not knowing

Chorus

Where this goes
How this goes (Happy not)
If this goes (I'm happy not)
Well, I'm happy not knowing
Where this goes
How this goes (Happy not)
If this goes (I'm happy not)
Well, I'm happy not knowing
