verse 1 
         D                             G 
 When you give it up for gone, but your digging in the mire 
           D                              A 
 And you’re staring out the window, saying everything will be just fine 
D                                G 
 Keepin' with whole affair, every word seems out of line 
   D                               A 
 No matter what angle you get, it's polished till it shines 


 
       G     A          D  A  Bm      G      A      D 
 Take a guess at where I stand, pick a number one or two 
       G    A                   D A Bm 
 Take a look at the back of your hand 
              G        A           D 
 Just like you know it, you know me too  


Verse 2 
                 D                             G 
 And when you say who the hell am I living with, what just went down 
D                             A 
 Where did this come from, why are all my colors faded brown 
D                   G 
 When did it change, what's with the rage 
D 
 Who's the dude with the extra roll 
          A 
 Whats the verse, the line, the chapter, the page 


       G     A           D  A  Bm      G       A      D 
 Take a guess, at where I stand, pick a number, one or two 
       G     A                   D A Bm 
 Take a look, at the back of your hand 
              G        A           D 
 Just like you know it, you know me too 


Bridge 
Bm              A                Bm            A 
 You think your alone without any place left to go 
              Bm           A      Bm       A 
 Like you need one of those kisses long and slow 
Bm              A                   
 First glance is not what it seems 
            Bm                      A 
 But there's some things that I just know 
              Bm                A  
 Like you take two sugars with a splash of cream 


       G     A           D  A  Bm      G       A      D 
 Take a guess, at where I stand, pick a number, one or two 
       G    A                    D A Bm 
 Take a look, at the back of your hand 
              G        A           D 
 Just like you know it, you know me too 


Tag 
              G        A           D 
 Just like you know it, you know me too 
              G        A           D 
 Just like you know it, you know me too
