I Knew It, I Knew You

Intro: C

Verse 1:
C       F
 I knew you
                                               C
Through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer
    F
Parachutes for the free fall of being younger
Em F   G                                C
I  memorized the sound of your bare footsteps
        Bb                     Am
Running wild, it's been a long time
                 A7                   Dm
Life has ways of leaving those days behind
                 G
But seeing you tonight

Chorus:
               C
I remembered I loved you

Came back when it mattered
  F
I saw you
                                   C
Standing there in the light of the window

Wearing that same smile
          F
Man, it's been a while
                 C
But I knew it, I knew ya
F
 I knew it, I knew ya

Verse 2:
C       F
 I knew you
                                         C
All your blues like a mood ring changing colors
        F
You did too

There were times we could fight like brothers
Em F           G
I  watched you drive around the bend
   C                            Bb
For what I thought would be the last time I saw my friend
Am                     A7                      Dm
  But love has ways of bringing things back to life
                G
All you said was, "Hi"

Chorus:
                   C
And I remembered I loved you

Came back when it mattered
  F
I saw you
                                   C
Standing there in the light of the window

Wearing that same smile
          F
Man, it's been a while
                 C               F
But I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew)

Post-chorus:
             C               F
I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew)
             C               F         Em F G
I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew)

Bridge:
C
 Oh
             Bb                     Am
The rivers I cried when we said goodbye
                 A7               Dm
Wondering if I'd made it up in my mind
                           G
But now you look me in the eye

Chorus:
                  C
And you told me I loved you
     G
Came back when it mattered
  Am
I saw you
         G                         F
Standing there in the light of the window
             C
Wearing that same smile
           Dm
Yeah, it's been a while, oh-oh
F             C
 Wearing that same smile
          Dm
Man, it's been a while (Man, it's been a while)
F             C
 Wearing that same smile
          Dm
Man, it's been a while
                 C                F
But I knew it, I knew you (Ooh, I knew you, I knew)

Post-chorus:
             C        F
I knew it, I knew you
                         C
Wearing that same smile (Ooh, I knew you, I knew)
             F       C
I knew it, I knew ya (Ooh, I knew you, I knew)
             F
I knew it, I knew ya (Ooh, I knew you, I knew)
          C
I knew it
