I Know

Em                C
i know i'll never see you
Em                D             Am
i know i'll never run into your body
        C                   Em
walking through the crooked steets

Em                C
i know i'll never hear you
Em                D               Am
i know i'll never hear you like a sound
           C                   Em
that wafts inside from outside there

Em               C
i know that if i waited
Em               D               Am
i know that if i wait a thousand days
         C                      Em
will lie wasted with thought of you

Am              Em                 C      D
   my love i've pictured this your violet eyelids
Am           Em                      C      C
   opened to say "here's where you've been"

Am             Em             C           D
   your lips open to say "my darling it's been
Am        Em             C     D
  so very long and i'm in pain"

Em                C
i know i'll never feel you
Em                D               Am
i know i'll never get so close to you
             C              Em
that i can't smell anything else

Em                C
i know that it is raining

Em                  D                  Am
and i know that the rain will soak you through
              C               Em
and leave you like a tattered sky

Em             C
I know I go in circles
Em                D                 Am
I know that window panes bring only rain
             C       Em
and not your face


Am              Em                 C      D
   my love i've pictured this your violet eyelids
Am           Em                      C      C
   opened to say "here's where you've been"

Am                  C                    G        D
  sometimes i       picture all your     fingers
  sometimes they're crawling down my     spine
  sometimes they're buttoning your       jacket
  sometimes you're  far but you're still mine


Am                  C                    G        D
  sometimes i       picture all your     fingers
  sometimes they're crawling down my     spine
  sometimes they're buttoning your       jacket
  sometimes you're  far but you're still mine

Em             C
I know I go in circles
Em                D                 Am
I know that window panes bring only rain
             C       Em
and not your face
