Verse :
--------
Keep repeating the main riff over these words :
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
(Repeat once)
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
De-doo yeah
Chorus:
--------
Em D
Chuck me in the shallow water
Em D
Before I get too deep
(Repeat once - I think ..)
Then back to the main riff.
The whole song is just these two parts - the sus2 riff
alternating with Em and D for the chorus.
There's a little lead line on guitar over the chorus :
