 I  know there's a word  for this
 I  know there's a word  for the way I'm feeling
 I  know there's a word  for this
 I  know it and it's on  the tip of my  tongue
 And  it won't go any further
 I  know there's a word  for this
 I  know 'cause it's in the  dictionary
 And  when I find what it  is
 I'll  write it down in case  it comes  up again
 I'll  be certain to  avoid it
 So  take this down:
 
 
 I  just feel so beat
 and  I think it's  time
 
 
 to  admit defeat
 I  thought I  got mine
 but  that uphill  climbing
 is never  through
 (Repeat intro)
 I  know there's a word  for this
 I  know 'cause we've all at  sometime  said it
 Like  when we were little kids
 We'd  fight each other til
 someone  would give in
 and  you'd make him tell you  "uncle"
 So  take this down:
 
 
 I  just feel so beat
 and  I think it's  time
 
 
 to  admit defeat
 I  thought I  got mine
 but  that uphill  climbing
 is never  through
 (Repeat intro -- final chord is D)
