I Think I Knew

  G      C              Am
There's no talking to him

    C              Am                   Em
His eyes are upon dust, steam, and tepid water

Dm                    G
I am home just to sit with him

Dm              Fmaj7       C               G
Aging at the notion of a life time on earth -- whim

Cmaj7                  Am
There's no working it out

C                  Am                    Em
My wanting is beyond all fears of formula

     Dm                          G
There's no boundary to devotion

      Dm          Fmaj7             Cmaj7           G        G
No territory to handle and cut neatly into -- three


F Em G F

I wish I knew x6

Verse 2:

G    C                    Am
      No sign on the door

Cmaj7    Am            E
No title to the deeds I'm digging for

                Dm                  G
A pun you wade into that ocean

Dm          Fmaj7
Blot out all uncertainty

Cm                   G
And call it as I -- be

C                         Am
The air is all ribbons of ice

Cmaj7           Am                Em
Softening the corners of my eyes

        Dm                  G
I was bold, I was the author

Dm                  Fmaj7
Doubt crept in like sickly dogs

Cmaj7                         G
And dragged me through the -- freeze

Chorus:

F Em G F

I wish I knew x6

F Em G F

I think I knew x6

Verse 3: 
G   C
    What did you want?
Am
(Everything)
 
C
How would you have him?

Am
(On my knees)

Em                            G
There is no one that can't be opened

Dm                 Fmaj7
This one to cut the heart in two

Cmaj7               G       G
The other one to -- choose

Chorus:

F Em G F

I wish I knew x6
I think I knew x12
