I Knew You That Way
Written by Jay Clementi & Radney Foster
Recorded by Luke Bryan

Intro.:  (C) x 4 bars

The (C)secret way long shadows bleed into the night
The desperate way leaves in the fall hold colors tight
The (Dm)way that thunder knows the taste of (G)summer rain
I knew (C)you that way

The (C)way cool mountain waters dance down to the sea
Bound by something strong, but still so wild and free
It (Dm)gives into the passion of the (G)path it takes
I knew (C)you that way

(Chorus)
I (F)held you closer (Dm)than I had a (C)right to hold
But the (Dm)only thing that (Am)time can't take a-(G)way
Is I knew (C)you that way

The (C)way that skin on skin can start a crazy fire
That no one sees but burns all night long with desire
The (Dm)quiet ease that makes a lover (G)wanna stay
I knew (C)you that way

(Chorus)
I (F)held you closer (Dm)than I had a (C)right to hold
But the (Dm)only thing that (Am)time can't take a-(G)way
Is I knew (C)you that way |(C) |(C) |(C)

The (C)holy way that love knows it should never end
The sacred way that stars guide sailors home again
Like (Dm)teardrops know the words to A-(G)mazing Grace
I knew (C)you that way

(Tag)
I knew (C)you that way, I knew you that way -----
