Pete Bernhard - I Knew You Chords

[Intro]
 
C F7 G7 C
 
[Verse 1]
C
We’d go fishing by the broke down Ford
                F7          G7        C
There ain’t no fish in that water no more.
C
You had songs now you’d sing to me
              F7        G7            C
And I’d play rhythm and you’d play lead
C
Watched you wander out of the light
             F7       G7         C
Towards that neon burning bright.
C
Can you tell me what we found?
        F7              G7          C
In the crowd, pushed to the ground.
 
[Chorus 1]
C
We got older so it seems
        F7       G7             C
Kept on dreaming stupid dreams.
C
We ain’t wiser you know it’s true
                        F7      G7              C
Remember when you knew everything and I knew you?
 
[Verse 2]
C
Found someone stronger I see that now
               F7          G7        C
Someone who knew how to keep you around.
C
Someone to lead you to the eye of the storm
                     F7          G7           C
where the wind blew silent and the water was warm.
C
I hear your voice now when I play
           F7          G7        C
Singing up high in that lonesome way.
C
Never thought now you’d leave the ride
            F7          G7           C
I’m looking for you on the passenger side.
 
[Chorus 2]  Variation from Chorus 1, a kind of pre-bridge lead up that incorporates the G#7 chord.
C
We got older so it seems
        F7       G7             C
Kept on dreaming stupid dreams.
C
We ain’t wiser you know it’s true
                        F7      G7              F7
Remember when you knew everything and I knew you?
        G7 - G#7        C
I knew you, I knew you.
C       F7            G7    G#7     C
I knew you, I knew you, I knew you.
C       F7            G7    G#7
(same pattern, no lyrics, lead up to the bridge)
 
[Bridge]
  Dm                    G
I’ll go now leave you behind
           C                    Am
Hook gets snagged gotta cut the line.
 Dm                           G
Curse your father, curse this town
           F7         G7                C
Curse that bottle we used to pass around.
 
[Chorus 3]
C
We got older so it seems
        F7       G7             C
Kept on dreaming stupid dreams.
C
We ain’t wiser it’s plain to see
                        F7      G7              F7
Remember when I knew everything and you knew me,
        G7   G#7        C
you knew me, you knew me?
C       F7            G7    G#7     C
You knew me, you knew me, you knew me.
 
End on C.
