Bright Eyes and Neva Dinova

I Know You

Walking with you through the courtyard

F#m

Where everything is marble and smooth

You said the idea of perfection

Was just fundamentally cruel

and talked about joining the circus

and trading your face for a mask

D A

Oh I know you, want to

G A D

I just don't believe that you can

We made quite a pair in the morning

F#m

We both tend to traffic in dreams

Seeing it now from the outside

You kept all your dark ones from me

And said you plan to go rambling

As you sat on that big window sill

D A

Oh I know you, want to

G A D

I just don't believe that you will

You long to go hide in the bramble

F#m

Or fall off the face of the earth

you wish you could live with the beggars

on the steps of some crumbling church

you say you'd like to go hungry

but the truth is you just had your fill

D A

Oh I know you, want to

G A D

I just don't believe that you will

On Sundays you stroll through the market

F#m

And feel like you traveled through time

Buying back all your possessions

That were stolen from some former life

Return to me tied in a corset

To say "don't you know who I am?"

D A

Oh I know you, want to

G A D

I just don't believe that you can

D A

Yes I know you, want to

G A D

I just don't believe that you can

Instrumental:

D G D A D G Bm A D A G A D

And trying to make an invention

F#m

Something the worlds never seen

To sweep away all of the trouble

And leave the place shiny and clean

Patent your brave new creation

And hold it right there in your hand

D A

Oh I know you, want to

G A D

I just don't believe that you can

I waited for you at the landing

F#m

The water was crystal and calm

All these ideas of forever

Are just fundamentally wrong

You say that your love makes you honest

Then you're caught with your hand in the till

D A

Oh I know you, want to

G A D

I just don't believe that you will

D A

Yes I know you, want to

G A D

I just don't believe that you will
