SONG: THE MAN I KNEW ARTIST: DESSA TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: GUITARZAN7@HOTMAIL.COM THE MAN I KNEW DESSA INTRO: Am C F G Am C F G VERSE: Am C F G By the time that you told me it was already plain that you`d changed Am C F G But your conscience was clean and as white as a line of cocaine Am C My back to the wall of your bedroom apartment F G You`re talking in circles, got two cigarettes burning Am C F G And I couldn`t hide how afraid I was to see you so strange
Am C Don`t get me wrong, I`ve got no ill will for you F G It`d just been so long, I thought I`d always know you Am But you`re so far gone C F Up where the air gets thin G You cut the kite strings Am C F I`ve seen my name in lights, I`ve seen my face in papers G But my civilian life, I spent ten good years waiting Am C F G Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, for you Am You charmed the snake C You picked the card F G You bent the spoo-oo-oon Am C A curved plane, the shapes change F G Euclid`s made to play the fool, but Am C I don`t know what that stuff does to you F G Am And I don`t know if it`s real, but C I spent a decade in love with you F G And I can`t stand if you`re here, `cause HOOK: Am C Fmaj7 The man I knew G Am C Fmaj7 G I don`t think that he can hear me now G Am C F G So dizzy with the al-ti-tude G Am C F G It`s just tooooooo far VERSE: Am C F Who am I to tell you to come down? F G Lucky that my palate still prefers a legal poison Am C F Who am I to tell you to come down? F G Sit back and raise a glass, a glass to easy choices Am C F Who am I, yeah, who am I, yeah who am I G Am C F G To tell you to come doooooooown? HOOK: Am C Fmaj7 The man I knew G Am Cmaj7 F G I don`t think that he can hear me now-o-o-ow G Am C Fmaj7 G So dizzy with the al-ti-tude G Am C F It`s just tooooooo far, G Am C Who am I to tell you, tell you, to tell you, tell you, F G To tell you, to tell you, tell you, tell you, tell you OUTRO:: F G Last night you came to kiss me in a dream and when I woke Am What kind of foolishness is this C Breathed out a lungful of your smoke F I`ve seen you at your brightest G What a mind, let it burn Am C Who am I to pull you down to Earth? F G Am C Yeah, who am I to tell you to come doooown? F G Am Come dooooownnn
