I Knew It, I Knew You

C            F
  I knew you
                                                      C
Through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer
           F
Parachutes
                                   Em
For the free fall of being younger, I
F        G                               C
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
      Dm         G
But seeing you tonight


                 C
I remembered I loved you
                               F
Came back when it mattered, I saw you
                                    Em                  F
Standing there in the light of the window wearing that same smile
           G
Man, it's been a while
                  C
But I knew it, I knew you
   F          C
I knew it, I knew you


C           F
  I knew you
                                                C
All your blues, like a mood ring changing colors
           F
You did too
                                              Em
There were times we could fight like brothers, I
F             G                    C
Watched you drive around the bend for


                             Bb                      Am
What I thought would be the last time I saw my friend
                       A7                     Dm
But love has ways of bringing things back to life
Dm                G
All you said was: Hi


                     C
And I remembered I loved you
                               F
Came back when it mattered, I saw you
                                    Em                  F
Standing there in the light of the window wearing that same smile
           G
Man, it's been a while
                  C               F
But I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew)
               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), oh-oh


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


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


                F          C
(I knew you) I knew it, I knew you (I knew you)
              Dm
Wearing that same smile (ooh, I knew you, I knew)
   F           C
I knew it, I knew you (ooh, I knew you, I knew)
F              C
 I knew it, I knew you (ooh, I knew you, I knew)
         C
I knew it
