(Intro.)
|(G) / / / |(G) / / / |

(Verse 1)
(G) I knew (C)you, through the daze of the blades of the grass in (G)summer
(G) Parachutes (C) for the free fall of being younger
(Bm) I (C) memorized (D) the sound of your bare footsteps
(G) Running wild, (F) it's been a long time (Em)
Life has ways of (E)leaving those days behind (Am)
But seeing you to-(D)night

(Chorus)
I remembered I (G)loved you, came back when it mattered I (C)saw you
Standing there in the light of the (G)window
Wearing that same smile, man, it's been a (C)while
But I knew it, I (G)knew ya, (C) I knew it, I knew ya

(Verse 2)
(G) I kn„uw (C)you, all your blues like a mood ring changing (G)colors
You did (C)too, ther„u were times we could fight like brothers
I (Bm) watched (C) you drive (D) around the bend
For (G) what I thought would be the last (F) time I saw my friend
(Em) But love has ways of (E)bringing things back to life (Am)
All you said was, (D) "Hi"

(Chorus)
And I remembered I (G)loved you, came back when it mattered I (C)saw you
Standing there in the light of the (G)window
Wearing that same smile, man, it's (C)been a while
But I knew it, I (G)knew you (C) (I knew, I knew)

(Post-Chorus)
I knew it, I (G)knew you (I knew, I knew) (C)
I knew it, I (G)knew you (I knew, I knew) (C) / / / (Bm) / / / (C) / / / (D) / / /

(Bridge)
(G) Oh, the rivers I cried (F) when we said goodbye (Em)
Wondering if I'd (E7)made it up in my mind (Am)
But now you look me in the (D))eye

(Chorus)
And you told me I (G)loved you, came (D)back when it mattered, I (Em)saw you
Standing (D)there in the light of the (C)window
Wearing that (G/B)same smile, yeah, it's (Am)been a while, oh-oh
(C) Wearing that (G/B)same smile
Man, it's (Am)been a while (Man, it's been a while)
(C) Wearing that (G/B)same smile
Man, it's (Am)been a while
But I knew it, I (G)knew you (C) (Ooh, I knew you, I knew)

(Post-Chorus)
I knew it, I (G)knew you (C)
Wearing that same smile (G) (Ooh, I knew you, I knew)
I knew it, I (C)knew ya (G) (Ooh, I knew you, I knew)
I knew it, I (C)knew ya (Ooh, I knew you, I knew)
I knew it (G) - - - - -
