I Hope You Understand

Capo: 4th fret

[Verse 1]
 
Cmaj7  Am                Cmaj7
...I had a dream you killed me
  F         Em      Cmaj7
Bread knife to my throat
     Am                  Cmaj7
You cracked a smile and kissed me
        F      Em     Cmaj7
And you cut me like a loaf
     Am           Cmaj7
But lying on the gurney
 F        Em    Cmaj7
Bleeding like a pig
  Am                   Cmaj7
I took your hands and worried
     F                F
How without me you'd live
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am  G              Dm      Em     G
...Even when it's hurting,.........
F                          Am         G
I hope you understand what you are to me
   Dm                          Em     F
I hope you understand what you are to me
 
I, I
 
F   Am      G          Dm  Em
.......And maybe I deserve it
F                              Am     G
I hope you understand what you are to me
   Dm                           Em    F
I hope you understand what you are to me
 
I, I
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Cmaj7    Am            Cmaj7
....I wanna take you with mе
F         Em      Cmaj7
Airplane food for two
     Am             Cmaj7
I'll put you in my suitcase
     F       Em      Cmaj7
And come out barеly bruised
    Am                Cmaj7
I'm so scared of the distance
     F        Em      Cmaj7
I'm scared of how you feel
     Am                 Cmaj7
When you're back in his living room
    F                 F
And I'm holding back tears
 
F           Em            Dm
...Now I'm sucking on a stranger
        G      Am     F
And I'm picturing you move
    Em              Dm
You speak to me in languages
     F                  F
You learned in boarding school
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am  G              Dm     Em   G
...Even when it's hurting........
F                              Am     G
I hope you understand what you are to me
   Dm                          Em
I hope you understand what you are to me
 
I, I
F  Am     G          Dm    Em
......And maybe I deserve it
F                              Am     G
I hope you understand what you are to me
   Dm                      Em         F
I hope you understand what you are to me
 
I, I
 
Dm Em F G Am
 
 
[Bridge]
 
         Dm
I don't wanna move out west
Em      F
Wait on tables in Venice
G      Am
Beg my brother for money
      Am
And a credit card for the rest
        Dm
Falling sicker and sicker
Em     F
Of the bartering with myself
G       Am
Sign my life to a label
        Am
Getting famous and getting shelved
    G
No, I don't wanna fol-
G
I don't wanna follow
 
F G Am G
Dm Em F G F
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am  G              Dm      Em     G
....Even when it's hurting,..........
F                              Am     G
I hope you understand what you are to me
  Dm                           Em
I hope you understand what you are to me
 
I, I
F    Am     G         Dm    Em
........And maybe I deserve it
F                              Am     G
I hope you understand what you are to me
  Dm                           Em      F
I hope you understand what you are to me
 
I, I
