I Knew chords by Lizzy McAlpine

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:

D


Verse 1:

 D
I knew that you loved me
     A      G      D
When you walked me to class in the dark
 D
I knew that you loved me
     A     G     D
When you ran to the store for a card
  G             Gm
You couldn't find a pen so you asked someone sweetly
  E7
You wrote out a note and you ran back to meet me
  Em7
And gave it to me on the bridge
        A
I said I would never forget this
      D
And I never did

Verse 2:

 D
I knew that you loved me
     A       G       D
When you walked me back home one night
 D
I knew that you loved me
    A      G      D
When I saw that my shoe was untied
  G              Gm
You bent down to tie it in the middle of the street
     E7
There was snow everywhere, it was turning to sleet
   Em7
But I knew when you looked up at me
     A
This was where I was meant to be


Chorus:

  D
So why?
      Em
Why did you have to go?
      G         D
Why did you have to go so soon?
D
Why?
      Em7
Why did you leave me there?
      G        E7  E
Why did you leave me without you?
     G    Em  D
Why did I think I knew?


Verse 3:

 D
I knew that you loved me
    A     G        D
But you told me we just weren't right
   D
And I knew that I loved you
    A       G        D
When I couldn't fall asleep that night
 G             Gm
I miss hearing all of your favorite songs
   E7                         Em
And I wish I could tell you, "turn it all off," one more time
                  A
And everyone laughs and then it is quiet


Chorus:

D
Why?
      Em
Why did you have to go?
      G         D
Why did you have to go so soon?
  D
And why?
      Em
Why did you leave me there?
      G        E7  E
Why did you leave me without you?
     Em
Why did I think I knew?
