I Know You 
Tabbed by CJ Holmes

D
Walking with you through the courtyard
f#m
Where everything is marble and smooth
D
You said the idea of perfection
G
Was just fundamentally cruel

bm
and talked about joining the circus
A
and trading your face for a mask

D                      A
Oh I know you, want to 
G              A              D    
I just don't believe that you can

D
We made quite a pair in the morning
f#m
We both tend to traffic in dreams
D
Seeing it now from the outside
G
You kept all your dark ones from me

bm                                     
And said you plan to go rambling
A 
As you sat on that big window sill

D              A 
Oh I know you, want to
G               A             D
I just don't believe that you will

D
You long to go hide in the bramble
f#m
Or fall off the face of the earth
D
you wish you could live with the beggars
G
on the steps of some crumbling church

bm
you say you'd like to go hungry
A
but the truth is you just had your fill

D              A
Oh I know you, want to
G               A             D
I just don't believe that you will

D
On Sundays you stroll through the market
f#m
And feel like you traveled through time
D
Buying back all your possessions
G
That were stolen from some former life

bm
Return to me tied in a corset
A
To say "don't you know who I am?"

D              A
Oh I know you, want to
G              A              D
I just don't believe that you can
D               A
Yes I know you, want to
G              A              D   
I just don't believe that you can

D
And trying to make an invention
f#m
Something the worlds never seen
D
To sweep away all of the trouble
G
And leave the place shiny and clean

bm
Patent your brave new creation
A
And hold it right there in your hand

D              A
Oh I know you, want to
G               A             D
I just don't believe that you can

D
I waited for you at the landing
f#m 
The water was crystal and calm
D
All these ideas of forever
G
Are just fundamentally wrong

bm
You say that your love makes you honest
A
Then you're caught with your hand in the till


D              A
Oh I know you, want to
G               A             D
I just don't believe that you will
D               A
Yes I know you, want to
G              A              D
I just don't believe that you will
