Things That you Know
The Wailin' Jennys
[Intro]
 Dm-  F-  C-  G-  Dm- F  
[Verse 1]
            C                     G              C   F- C  
It's been a long time since you saw your home
Even thFose you call the cloCsest 
Have sliFpped away somGehow 
               C                   G             C   F- C  
Feels like a lifetime you've been on the road 
With so maFny miles behCind you
You'd think you'd have lFeft this world by nGow 
             C                     G          C   F- C  
You've seen more than they could ever know
No matFter what they sCay
You've earned the riFght to be so boGld
          C                   G           C   F- C  
But this life it takes its toll on you 
FEvery face arCound you looks so tiFred and so oGld 
[Pre-chorus]
DmAnd you have nCot seen everFything 
DmYou have nCot seen everFything 
[Chorus]
CBut there are thiGngs that you kDmnow 
Things that you knCow 
CFrom whGere you've had to Dmgo 
Where you've had to gCo 
CMaybe soGon you'll find a pDmlace 
            Dm-F  
To call your own 
To call your hoCme 
[Verse 2]
                 C                    G              C   F- C  
You've walked a good mile in your brother's shoes 
'Til your lFegs could walk no fuCrther 
And your tiFred soles would bGurn 
                  C                  G              C   F- C  
You know there's peace somewhere around the bend 
FIt's been a long time comCing 
And you're reFady for your tGurn
[Pre-chorus]
DmAnd you have nCot seen everFything 
DmYou have nCot seen everGything
[Chorus]
CBut there are thiGngs that you Dmknow 
Things that you knCow 
CFrom whGere you've had to Dmgo 
Where you've had to gCo 
CMaybe soGon you'll find a Dmplace 
            Dm-F  
To call your own 
To call your hoCme 
[Chorus]
CBut there are thiGngs that you kDmnow 
Things that you knCow 
CFrom whGere you've had to Dmgo 
Where you've had to gCo 
CMaybe soGon you'll find a plDmace 
            Dm-F  
To call your own 
To call your hoCme
