Idlewild - Not Just Sometimes But Always
Tuning half a step down 

Verse 1
D
There is a long forgotten voice,
Bm
I know it's not your voice,
                   A
because it's always strained,
 D                           Bm
I wake up hearing unfamiliar voices,
                           A
convinced they're trying to explain,
            D
that if my words were clearer,
      Bm                          A
then maybe I would know what I'm trying to say,
               D
just as those long forgotten voices,
Bm                       A
disappear back into rain,

Bridge
   E                               D
If I was born the same day that you die,
                   A
should that make me try,
E                               D
I was born the same day that you die,
                   A
should that make me feel more alive,

Chorus
A                     E
Not just sometimes but always,
   D            A
I know what I know,
   A             E
I know what I know,
    D           A
I know what I know,

Verse 2
D
I tune the radio,
      Bm                   A                       
to drown out these voices I don't know,
D
and suddenly an empty house,
     Bm                     A
it almost fills up with hope,
D
there are days and nights when,
   Bm                     A
I don't need to close my eyes,
                  D
and they feel as real to me,
         Bm            A
like an elegy in the skies,


Bridge
   E                               D
If I was born the same day that you die,
                    A
should that make me try,
E                               D
I was born the same day that you die,
                   A
should that make me feel more alive,

Chorus
A                     E
Not just sometimes but always,
   D            A
I know what I know,
   A             E
I know what I know,
    D           A
I know what I know,
A                     E
Not just sometimes but always,
   D            A
I know what I know,
   A             E
I know what I know,
    D           A
I know what I know,
