Sould Have Known Better

[Intro]
Am D C F
G F
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am
  I should have known better
D
 To see what I could see
C         F
 My black shroud
                    G
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies
F Am
    I should have wrote a letter
D
 And grieve what I happen to grieve
C         F
 My black shroud
                    G
I never trust my feelings
                       F
I waited for the remedy
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm                 F
  When I was three, three, maybe four
G                    F                  G
 She left us at that video store, mmm...
C              G      F              G
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy, mmm...
C              G      F
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy

[Verse 2]
Am
  I’m light as a feather
D
 I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
C         F
 My black shroud
                    G
Frightened by my feelings
I only wanna be a relief
F Am
    No, I’m not a gogetter
D                         C
 The demon had a spell on me
         F
My black shroud
                 G
Captain of my feelings
                              F
The only thing I wanna believe
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm                 F
  When I was three, and free to explore
G                      F                       G
 I saw her face on the back of the door, mmm...
C              G      F              G
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy, mmm...
C              G      F
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy

[Verse 3]
C
 I should have known better
F               G
 Nothing can be changed
                      C
The past is still the past
    G
The bridge to nowhere
Am
  I should have wrote a letter
F G                  Am         G
   Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
 
 
[Bridge]
C             F                    G
 Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
                    C        G
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
Am
  My brother had a daughter
F G                    Am        G
   The beauty that she brings, illumination
C             F                      G
 Don’t back down, there is nothing left
                    C       G
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
Am
  I’m a fool in the fetter
F G                  Am           G
   Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me
C             F                    G
 Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
           C           G
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
Am
  My brother had a daughter
F G                    Am        G
   The beauty that she brings, illumination
F  G
 Illumination
