I know him so well (Chess)

Nothing is so good A E

it lasts eternally A   A/G^#

Perfect situations F^#m

must go wrong D

But this has never yet A

prevented me D D/C^#

(from) wanting far too much Bm

for far too long E

 

Looking back, I could have A E

played it differently A    A/G^#

Won a few more moments, F^#m

who can tell? D

But it took time A

to understand the man D D/C^#

Now at least I know, Bm

I know him well E

 

Refr: Wasn’t it good? (Oh, so good!) A

Wasn’t he fine? (Oh, so fine!) D2

Isn’t it madness, Dm

he can’t be mine? A  Dm fede

But in the end, he needs A E

A little bit more than me, F^#m

more security D A

(He needs his fantasy E

and freedom) D

I know him so well A Dm D E ddf#ee

 

No one in your life A E

is with you constantly A   A/G^#

No one is completely F^#m

on your side D

And though I moved A

my world to be with him D D/C^#

Still the gap between Bm

is too wide E ddef#ee

 

Looking back, I could’ve A E

played it differently A    A/G^#

(…it some other way)

Learned about the man F^#m

before I fell D

(I was just a little careless maybe)

But I was ever A

so much younger then D D/C^#

(I was som much younger then)

Now at least I know, Bm

I know him well E ddef#ee

Refr: Wasn’t it good? (Oh, so good!) A

Wasn’t he fine? (Oh, so fine!) D2

Isn’t it madness, Dm

he won’t be mine? A Dm fede

Didn’t I know, A

how it would go F^#m

If I knew from the start? B

Why am I falling apart? E A

Wasn’t it good? A

Wasn’t he fine? Dsus2

Isn’t it madness, Dm

he won’t be mine? A Dm fede

But in the end, he needs A E

A little bit more than me, F^#m

more security D A

(He needs his fantasy E

and freedom) D

I know him so well A

It took time D

to understand him A B⁷ Bm⁷

I know him so well. A
