Sufjan Stevens - Should have known better

^EmI should have known b^Aetter To see what I co^Guld see My black shr^Emoud Holding down my ^Dfeelings A pillar for my ^Cadd9enemies

^EmI should have wrote a l^Aetter And grieve what I happen to g^Grieve My black sh^Emroud I never trust my feel^Dings I waited for the ^Cadd9remedy

^AmWhen I was^Cadd9 three, three maybe f^Dour She left us at that^Cadd9 video store ^{C D G}Be my re^Dst, be my f^Cadd9antasy ^{C D G}Be my r^Dest, be my fa^Cadd9ntasy

^EmI’m light as a fe^Aather I’m bright as the Orego^Gn breeze My black sh^Emroud Frightened by my f^Deelings I only wanna be a r^Cadd9elief

^EmNo, I’m not a g^Ao-getter The demon had a spell on ^Gme My black sh^Emroud Captain of my feel^Dings The only thing I wanna b^Cadd9elieve

^AmWhen I was ^Cadd9three, and free to e^Dxplore I saw her face on the b^Cadd9ack of the door ^{C D G}Be my r^Dest, be my f^Cadd9antasy ^{C D G}Be my r^Dest, be my fa^Cadd9ntasy

I sh^Gould have known^C better Nothing can be c^Dhanged The past is still the ^Gpast The brid^Dge to nowhere ^Cmaj7I should have wrote a letter ^{Em D} Explaining what I ^Gfeel, that empty ^Dfeeling

^GDon’t bac^Ck down, concentrate on ^Dseeing The breakers in the ^Gbar, the neighb^Dor’s greeting ^Cmaj7My brother had a daughter ^Em The beau^Dty that she brings, i^Gllumination^D

^GDon’t back^C down, there is nothing^D left The bre^Gakers in the bar, no rea^Dson to live ^Cmaj7I’m a fool in the fetter^Em Rose of Aaro^Dn’s beard, ^Gwhere you can reac^Dh me

^GDon’t back^C down: nothing can be ^Dchanged Cant^Gilever bridge, the drun^Dken sailor ^Cmaj7My brother had a daugh^Emter The ^Dbeauty that she bri^Gngs, illumi^Dnation ill^Emumination^D
