How Could I Have Known Cifras

[Verse 1]
 
Em9                                        Em
under these old oak trees where we used to sit.
  Em9                                             Em
chilled autumn air like a ghost angel kissing my lips
      Cmaj7               Asus2
and i weep but there's no tears.
     Cmaj7                                        Asus2
this well is buried deep, no god can unearth them still
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     Em9                                Em
our dreams dissolve behind my hollowed eyes
Em9                                         Em
light burns beautifully on the horizon and dies.
   Em9                                       Em
a solitary black swan glides on a mirror top lake
     Cmaj7                           Asus2
its ripples cring out in a deep dark night
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
  Em9                                            Em
i listen back to your voice as it plays from my phone
   Em9                                  Em
my chest in a bear trap, crushed to the bone
   Em9                                           Em
our song floods from the stereo, my whole heart breaks.
            Cmaj7         Asus2
what's this pain that i'm feeling
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Cmaj7              A
how could i have known?
Cmaj7              A
how could i have known?
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
    Em9                               Em
you ride by my side beneath a crimson moon
Em9                            Em
hot july night, scent of your perfume
 Em9                                          Em
our full bloomed youth bursts with plans and dreams.
     Cmaj7                                        Asus2
in a blink you're lying there, in a twisted steel tomb
Cmaj7                      Asus2
i look again, it can't be you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Cmaj7              A
how could i have known?
Cmaj7              A
how could i have known?
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em                Cmaj7              D
does the oak tree deny the seasons, too?
          Em                    Cmaj7                      D
when the air grows cold does it cling to its dead leaves, too?
          Em                  Cmaj7                     D
when the days are dim does it cling to its dead leaves, too?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Cmaj7              A
how could i have known?
Cmaj7              A
how could i have known?
