I Should've Known

Capo 3: Cm maps as Am


*** Verse 1:
C /B     Am 
I should thank you almost
Em           D                     C
no one could kill it off until you bled it  
      /B  Am 
but I got rid of that ghost
Em              D                     C
'though certain habits still remain imbedded
     /B  Am
with the shadow of a doubt 
    Em          D           C
but baby it was you who fed it  
    F                         C
and I don't know what else to say 
                    C2
but I think you get it.  


*** Chorus:
            G      D
I should've known
       Am             C
it was coming down to this
            G      D
I should've known
          Am                        C
you would betray me but without the kiss
            G      D
I should've known
    Am                C
the kind of set-up it is.


*** Verse 2:
And always isn't always                                  C  Am
when it's not your photograph that I've been keeping     Em   D   C
but you still live in those days                         C  Am
when I'd stay awake just to watch you sleeping           Em   D   C
you delivered that blow                                  C  Am 
but it left a mark on me that you're not seeing          Em   D   C
and I don't know what else you hear                      F    C   
but it's not me weeping                                       C2


*** Chorus:
I should've known                                        G    D
it was coming down to this                               Am   C
I should've known                                        G    D
you would betray me but without the kiss                 Am   C
I should've known                                        G    D
the kind of set-up it is.                                Am   C

*** Bridge:
A               
should've seen the cracks in the ceiling
        Em   
and the mirror covered up with dust  
Bm             A              D
but I was busy talking on the phone
Dm                             A     /G#
I should've seen the obstacles but I said,
     F#m       /E        D
this house was built for us
<Tacet notes are >
hello?  is anybody home?

*** Chorus:
I should've known                            A     E
the minute that we hit the wall              Bm    D
I should've known                            A     E
the writing was upon the stall               Bm    D
I should've known                            A     E
'cause Rome was starting to fall             Bm    D
