THE MAN I KNEW
DESSA
INTRO:
A minorAm 
C majorC 
FF 
G+G
A minorAm C majorC FF G+G
VERSE:
A minorAm C majorC FF G+G
By the time that you told me it was already plain that you`d changed
A minorAm C majorC FF G+G
But your conscience was clean and as white as a line of cocaine
A minorAm C majorC
My back to the wall of your bedroom apartment
FF G+G
You`re talking in circles, got two cigarettes burning
A minorAm C majorC FF G+G
And I couldn`t hide how afraid I was to see you so strange
A minorAm C majorC
Don`t get me wrong, I`ve got no ill will for you
FF G+G
It`d just been so long, I thought I`d always know you
A minorAm
But you`re so far gone
C majorC FF
Up where the air gets thin
G+G
You cut the kite strings
A minorAm C majorC FF
I`ve seen my name in lights, I`ve seen my face in papers
G+G
But my civilian life, I spent ten good years waiting
A minorAm C majorC FF G+G
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, for you
A minorAm
You charmed the snake
C majorC
You picked the card
FF G+G
You bent the spoo-oo-oon
A minorAm C majorC
A augmentedA curved plane, the shapes change
FF G+G
Euclid`s made to play the fool, but
A minorAm C majorC
I don`t know what that stuff does to you
FF G+G A minorAm
And I don`t know if it`s real, but
C majorC
I spent a decade in love with you
FF G+G
And I can`t stand if you`re here, `cause
HOOK:
A minorAm C majorC 
Fmaj7Fmaj7
The man I knew
G+G A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
I don`t think that he can hear me now
G+G A minorAm C majorC FF G+G
So dizzy with the al-ti-tude
G+G A minorAm C majorC FF G+G
It`s just tooooooo far
VERSE:
A minorAm C majorC FF
Who am I to tell you to come down?
FF G+G
Lucky that my palate still prefers a legal poison
A minorAm C majorC FF
Who am I to tell you to come down?
FF G+G
Sit back and raise a glass, a glass to easy choices
A minorAm C majorC FF
Who am I, yeah, who am I, yeah who am I
G+G A minorAm C majorC FF G+G
To tell you to come doooooooown?
HOOK:
A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
The man I knew
G+G A minorAm 
Cmaj7Cmaj7 FF G+G
I don`t think that he can hear me now-o-o-ow
G+G A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
So dizzy with the al-ti-tude
G+G A minorAm C majorC FF
It`s just tooooooo far,
G+G A minorAm C majorC
Who am I to tell you, tell you, to tell you, tell you,
FF G+G
To tell you, to tell you, tell you, tell you, tell you
OUTRO::
FF G+G
Last night you came to kiss me in a dream and when I woke
A minorAm
What kind of foolishness is this
C majorC
Breathed out a lungful of your smoke
FF
I`ve seen you at your brightest
G+G
What a mind, let it burn
A minorAm C majorC
Who am I to pull you down to Earth?
FF G+G A minorAm C majorC
Yeah, who am I to tell you to come doooown?
FF G+G A minorAm
Come dooooownnn
