I Think I Knew

	  		
G      C              Am 
There's no talking to him 

    C              Am                   Em 
His eyes are upon dust, steam, and tepid water 

Dm                    G 
I am home just to sit with him 

Dm              Fmaj7       C               G 
Aging at the notion of a life time on earth -- whim 

Cmaj7                  Am 
There's no working it out 

C                  Am                    Em 
My wanting is beyond all fears of formula 

     Dm                          G 
There's no boundary to devotion 

      Dm          Fmaj7             Cmaj7           G        G 
No territory to handle and cut neatly into -- three

I wish I knew x6 

verse 2: 

G    C                    Am 
      No sign on the door 

Cmaj7    Am            E 
No title to the deeds I'm digging for 

                Dm                  G 
A pun you wade into that ocean 

Dm          Fmaj7 
Blot out all uncertainty 

Cm                   G 
And call it as I -- be 

C                         Am 
The air is all ribbons of ice 

Cmaj7           Am                Em 
Softening the corners of my eyes 

        Dm                  G 
I was bold, I was the author 

Dm                  Fmaj7 
Doubt crept in like sickly dogs 

Cmaj7                         G 
And dragged me through the -- freeze 

F Em G F 

I wish I knew x6

I think I knew x6
 

verse 3:  
G   C 
    What did you want? 
Am 
(Everything) 
  
C 
How would you have him? 

Am 
(On my knees) 

Em                            G 
There is no one that can't be opened 

Dm                 Fmaj7 
This one to cut the heart in two 

Cmaj7               G       G 
The other one to -- choose

I wish I knew x6 
I think I knew x12
