I Know You 
Tabbed by CJ Holmes

D5
Walking with you through the courtyard
f#m
Where everything is marble and smooth
D5
You said the idea of perfection
G5
Was just fundamentally cruel

bm
and talked about joining the circus
A5
and trading your face for a mask

D5                      A5
Oh I know you, want to 
G5              A5              D5    
I just don't believe that you can

D5
We made quite a pair in the morning
f#m
We both tend to traffic in dreams
D5
Seeing it now from the outside
G5
You kept all your dark ones from me

bm                                     
And said you plan to go rambling
A5 
As you sat on that big window sill

D5              A5 
Oh I know you, want to
G5               A5             D5
I just don't believe that you will

D5
You long to go hide in the bramble
f#m
Or fall off the face of the earth
D5
you wish you could live with the beggars
G5
on the steps of some crumbling church

bm
you say you'd like to go hungry
A5
but the truth is you just had your fill

D5              A5
Oh I know you, want to
G5               A5             D5
I just don't believe that you will

D5
On Sundays you stroll through the market
f#m
And feel like you traveled through time
D5
Buying back all your possessions
G5
That were stolen from some former life

bm
Return to me tied in a corset
A5
To say "don't you know who I am?"

D5              A5
Oh I know you, want to
G5              A5              D5
I just don't believe that you can
D5               A5
Yes I know you, want to
G5              A5              D5   
I just don't believe that you can


Instrumental: 
D5 G5 D5 A5 D5 G5 bm A5 D5 A5 G5 A5 D5

D5
And trying to make an invention
f#m
Something the worlds never seen
D5
To sweep away all of the trouble
G5
And leave the place shiny and clean

bm
Patent your brave new creation
A5
And hold it right there in your hand

D5              A5
Oh I know you, want to
G5               A5             D5
I just don't believe that you can

D5
I waited for you at the landing
f#m 
The water was crystal and calm
D5
All these ideas of forever
G5
Are just fundamentally wrong

bm
You say that your love makes you honest
A5
Then you're caught with your hand in the till


D5              A5
Oh I know you, want to
G5               A5             D5
I just don't believe that you will
D5               A5
Yes I know you, want to
G5              A5              D5
I just don't believe that you will
