I Thought I Knew Ya

[A]When we met I was wide eyed city boy             [Bm]

[D]Singin in the streets to feed my hope a[A]nd joy

[A]We had mad lovin and so fast was our fla[Bm]me

[D]When it went out you got so mad              [A]

[A]Talkin trash bout me

[Bm]Comin round at me

[D]Making a tale of fool’s gold my reputation      [A]

[A]Little miss sunshine’s who I met that day      [Bm]

[D]When I walked out it felt like a hurricane        [A]


[A]Thought I knew ya

Like I could see right through ya   [Bm]

But the look [D]in your eyes took me by surprise'

And I lost[A] control

[A]Thought I knew ya

Like I had a direct l[Bm]ine to ya        [D]

[A]But I was wrong

[A]Then I caught a shooting a star living photograph             [Bm]

A[D] Buddhist hipster from the purple skies of LA           [A]

[A]The ground would shake all understanding now  [Bm]

[D]As I was so smitten with her suede             [A]

It went from screamin[A] oh baby!!

To se[Bm]e you later maybe

I aint la[D]ughin now how the tables turn                [A]

[A]Her fine print swiftly stole away [Bm]

[D]I’ll see you in the next life baby namaste'        [A]


[A]Thought I knew ya

Thought I could see right through ya       [Bm]
What a surpri[D]se to open your eyes
And find a hole in[A] your soul

I thought I knew ya[A]

Like I had a direct li[Bm]ne

to some power greater tha[D]n myself            [A]


[G]So I walked down to the Someday Caf&ea[D]cute;         [A]
[G]To get my cup o coffee for[D] the day             [A]
[G]But they tore it down and
[D]Put up another bank of th[F]e USA            [A]
Where my paradise [G]used to be   [D]               [A]

Am hammer ons like intro......solo that I can't play.


[A]I thought I knew ya

[B#m]Thought I knew myself too yeah

[D]The chink in the wall
I scratched it only yesterday  [A]

[A]I thought I knew ya
But my lines were rusted throug[Bm]h yeah

But to thin[D]k is wrong but to sing is right
So me[A]et me at the bridge tonight


To se[G]e me reflect[D]ion in the pond           [A]
To wo[G]nder what’s a goin on beyo[D]nd          [A]
[G]What I’m tryin to say just [D]won’t come ou[F]t                [A]
[G]But I long to hear [D]you     [A]

Am runs as per the intro  -- hammer on w/ ur onky on 3rd fret G and B Strings.

Good luck ...anyone feel like adding to this one feel free.
I'm open for criticism.  Hopefully this helps someone out there.

Peace,
