[Verse 1]
DFown, down in my bDmones
Somewhere I'd never ever kBbnown
Right at the back of my heCad
FIt hit me like a beam of liDmght
Hit me like a Bbhook of the right
And I could have fell to the Cfloor
'Cause you taFlk to me and it comes off the Dmwall
You Gmtalk to me and it goes over my heCad
So let's Fgo to bed before you say something Dmreal
Let's gGmo to bed before you say how you fCeel
[Chorus]
'Cause it's yFou
I always, aDmlways knew
I oh, I Gmalways knew
Oh, it's yCou
[Verse 2]
FI try my best to Dmunwind
Nothing on my Bbmind but yoCu
FOblivious to all that I'll Dmowe
I'm hBbanging on to what I don't knCow
So let's Fgo to bed before you say something Dmreal
Let's gGmo to bed before you say how you fCeel
[Chorus 2]
'Cause it's yFou
I always, aDmlways knew
I oh, I Gmalways knew
Oh, it's yCou
Yeah it's yFou

Oh, it's yCou
[Chorus/Outro]
Well it's yFou

Oh, it's yCou
FI knew, oh I aDmlways knew

[Verse 1]

F Dm

Down, down in my bones

Somewhere I'd never ever known

Right at the back of my head

F Dm

It hit me like a beam of light

Hit me like a hook of the right

And I could have fell to the floor

F Dm

'Cause you talk to me and it comes off the wall

Gm C

You talk to me and it goes over my head

F Dm

So let's go to bed before you say something real

Gm C

Let's go to bed before you say how you feel

[Chorus]

'Cause it's you

I always, always knew

I oh, I always knew

Oh, it's you

[Verse 2]

F Dm

I try my best to unwind

Bb C

Nothing on my mind but you

F Dm

Oblivious to all that I'll owe

Bb C

I'm hanging on to what I don't know

F Dm

So let's go to bed before you say something real

Gm C

Let's go to bed before you say how you feel

[Chorus 2]

'Cause it's you

I always, always knew

I oh, I always knew

Oh, it's you

Yeah it's you

I always, always knew

I oh, I always knew

Oh, it's you

[Chorus/Outro]

Well it's you

I always, always knew

I oh, I always knew

Oh, it's you

F Dm

I knew, oh I always knew

Yes I always knew

Oh, it's you
