I Knew You

Em G Am B7 2x

Em                     G
   We walked into the pines
                   Am
And sat amongst the graves
                     B7
You told me you'd been fine
       Em
Since I poisoned your life
              G
And it was so good to hear
           Am
After so many years
           B7
Not for the pain
                        Em
But to hear you say anything real
               G
Well I've been working nights
              Am
In and out of fights and flights
 B7
Kites in storms
            C
Forgot this war

[Chorus]
              G
When I had to run
C                     G            D
   We didn't leave it all said and done
C                 G
   But will it be tonight?
C                   G            D              C
   Something in the cold of your eyes says, "Tonight."

       G
I knew you
C                    G                D
   I knew you as you were, not as you are
C              G
   You knew me too
C                                     G
   But I'm not the same, it's not the way
    D           Em      G Am B7
The way, you're used to

[Verse 2]
Em                 G
   You asked me to stay
            Am                   B7
Asked me to stay awake, 'til the morning breaks
           Em
In someone else's place
             G
But I fell to sleep
            Am
Ashamed of where I shouldn't be
        B7
Woke to you shaking me

Em              G
   He drove all night to find you
Am                    B7
   Whoa, I think that you knew
           Em
He'd drive all night
                G
Cuz all that you sighed
               Am
Was, "what if ‘Long Flight’ was about you?"
       B7                       C
But it was and it was about you too

[Chorus]
              G
Then I had to run
C                         G            D
   And now we'll leave it all said and done
C                          G
   What did you think he'd find?
C                   G            D              C
   Something in the cold of your eyes said, "Goodbye."

       G
I knew you
C                    G                D
   I knew you as you were, not as you are
C              G
   You knew me too
C                                 G
   But it's not the same, not the way
D                 C  G
The way, you used to
C         G
   I knew you
D               C
Not like I used to
