[Intro]
Am G D E (2x)

[Verse]
Am G
I thought I knew you but I was in for a suprise
D E
I let my love flow from my heart into your eyes
Am G
And then I found out that there was nothing I could know
D E
Or guess about you, you'd go as far as you could go

[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
And it took me years to figure out
D E
That there was nothing I could give to you
Fmaj7 C
Years to figure out
D E
That there was nothing you would take from me
Fmaj7 C
And how can I describe the way
D
You slowly put my hope away and all of the time
Am G D E
I thought I knew you
Am G D E

[Verse]
Am G
I thought I knew you but I wasn't even close
D E
I had my heart set on little more than a ghost
Am G
And I thought I'd show you, there was no way we could lose
D E
I thought I'd force you to realize and choose

[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
And it took me years to figure out
D E
That there was nothing I could show to you
Fmaj7 C
Years to figure out
D E
That you were never really goin' to choose
