Idlewild - Not Just Sometimes But Always
Tuning half a step down 
Verse 1
DThere is a long forgotten voice,
BmI know it's not your voice,
because it's always Astrained,
I Dwake up hearing unfamiliar Bmvoices,
convinced they're trying to Aexplain,
that if my wDords were clearer,
then mBmaybe I would know what I'm tArying to say,
just as those lDong forgotten voices,
Bmdisappear back into rain,A  
Bridge
If EI was born the same day that you Ddie,
should that make me Atry,
EI was born the same day that you Ddie,
should that make me Afeel more alive,
Chorus
ANot just sometimes but Ealways,
I kDnow what I knAow,
I kAnow what I knoEw,
I knDow what I knAow,
Verse 2
DI tune the radio,
to droBmwn out these voices I Adon't know,
Dand suddenly an empty house,
it alBmmost fills up with hopeA,
Dthere are days and nights when,
I dBmon't need to close my eAyes,
and they feel as rDeal to me,
like an eBmlegy in the skAies,
Bridge
If EI was born the same day that you Ddie,
should that make me Atry,
EI was born the same day that you Ddie,
should that make me Afeel more alive,
Chorus
ANot just sometimes but Ealways,
I kDnow what I knAow,
I kAnow what I knoEw,
I knDow what I knAow,
ANot just sometimes but Ealways,
I kDnow what I knAow,
I kAnow what I knoEw,
I knDow what I knAow,

Tuning half a step down

Verse 1

There is a long forgotten voice,

I know it's not your voice,

because it's always strained,

I wake up hearing unfamiliar voices,

convinced they're trying to explain,

then maybe I would know what I'm trying to say,

just as those long forgotten voices,

I know what I know,

Verse 2

I tune the radio,

Bm A

to drown out these voices I don't know,

and suddenly an empty house,

it almost fills up with hope,

there are days and nights when,

Bm A

I don't need to close my eyes,

and they feel as real to me,

Bm A

like an elegy in the skies,

Bridge

E D

If I was born the same day that you die,

should that make me try,

E D

I was born the same day that you die,

should that make me feel more alive,
