Verse 1:
B             B       B             B
I do what you tell me like it's my idea
E              E            E                E
I came down to find you, pretend that you're here
      B             B               B           B
And I never could replace you, it's too dark to try
      Gb           Gb                  Abm                    Abm
But I look for our memories, and their clothing and their eyes

Chorus:
           Dbm   Dbm
You didn't know

You didn't know

Verse 2:
B                   B         B              B
You're there when I need you, we talk on the phone
  E                     E         E          E
I know that you've been trying to build us a home
       B          B             B           B
Yet I scramble to find one with couches and boys
    Gb              Gb    Abm               Abm
But all I hear's an echo, the sound of your voice

Chorus:
           Dbm   Dbm
You didn't know
           Abm   Gb
You didn't know

Verse 3:
    B                B             B              B
You may have more to teach me, but what haven't I heard?
E            E         E           E
Listening is easy, but learning is earned
     B              B                   B               B
I forgive you and I thank you, you know all the reasons why
    Gb          Gb            Abm          Abm
I'm sorry and I love you, all we can do is try

Chorus:

You didn't know
       Abm     Gb
How to raise me
B   Gb        Abm    Gb     Db7    E
Any more than I knew how to grow up
Dbm          Dbm          Gb      Gb
Childhood is over, and it wasn't enough

Verse 4:
    B             B          B               B
But Nina's in the garden and Rascal's on the roof
    E        E             E              E
The charges against you, I know I have no proof
   B              B            B                 B
So goodbye to the Chelsea, goodbye to the rocket ship
        Gb            Gb                           Abm             Abm
There's only room for you and me there and there's so much more to fit

Chorus:

You didn't know

You didn't know
           Abm   Abm
You didn't know
           Dbm   Dbm
You didn't know
           Abm   Gb
You didn't know
