Chords used C, G, F, Am, Dm
no capo!
[verse (1)]
C--i knew you through G-
the daze of the blades of the grass in Csummer
paracFhutes for the free fall of Gbeing younger
Ci memoAmrized the sound of your bare footCsteps
running Fwild, it's been a long timeC
life has ways of Amleaving those days beDmhind
but seeing you toGnight
[chorus]
i remembered i Cloved you
came back when it mattered, i Csaw you
standing there in the light of the Cwindow wearing that same smile
man, it's been a wChile
but i knew it, i knew Cyou
i knew it, i knew Cyou
[verse (2)]
C--i knеw you G-
all your blues like a mood ring changingC colors
you did tooF, therе were times we could Gfight like brothers
Ci watched you Amdrive around the bend Cfor
what i thought would be the Flast time i saw my friend
C--but love has ways of Ambringing things back to Dmlife
all you said wasG, "hi"
[chorus]
and i remembered i Cloved you
came back when it mattered, i Fsaw you
standing there in the light of the Cwindow wearing that same smile
man, it's been a wFhile
[post-chorus]
i knew it, i kCnew youF (i knew, i kCnew)F
i knew it, i kCnew youF (i knew, i kCnew)F ooh
[bridge]
C--oh, the rivers i criedF when we said goodbye
C--wondering if i'd Ammade it up in my Dmmind
but now you look me in the Geye
[chorus]
and you told me i Cloved you
came back when it mattered, i Gsaw you
standing there in the light of the Fwindow wearing that same smile
yeah, it's been a while, oh-oh
wearing that same smile
man, it's been a while (man, it's been a while)
wearing that same smile
man, it's Gbeen a while
but i knew it, i kCnew youF (ooh, i knew you, i kCnew)F
