It Takes One To Know Me

C                                     Am
it's true that i used to be crazy
       F                                       G
and harder to love than most men
              C             G                 C           Am
but the blood that ran in these tired old hands
        F                                   G               G
was harder and wilder back then

and i don't feel as tall as i used to
maybe it's just that you've grown
you're the one that held my hand when i fell
if i just couldn't make it alone

CHORUS
F                              C
I've lived out all the stories
F                        C
sang all the old songs
    F                 C       Am
It takes one to know me
F  G                       C
i guess you're the one

VERSE 2
your daughters are ladies of fortune
and your son an heir to the throne
and though this crown that i hold is
tarnished and cold
it's a symbol of all that I own
sometimes i wish i was younger
and could pick up the pieces and run
but then i look back on the matter of fact
and it's a race that I've already won

CHORUS
I've lived down all the stories
sang all the old songs
it takes one to know me
i guess you're the one

I've lived down all the stories
sang all the old songs
it takes one to know me
and June you the one
