I know him so well (midi)

G D G

1. Nothing is so good it lasts eternally,

Em D C

perfect situations must go wrong.

G D C

But this has never yet prevented me,

Am C D

from wanting far too much, for far too long.

G D G

2. Looking back, I could have done it differently,

Em D C

won a few more moments, who can tell?

G D C

But it took time to understand the man,

Am C D

now at least I know, I know him well.

G C

Wasn't it good (wasn't it good), wasn't it fine (wasn't it fine)

Cm G - D

isn't it madness, he can't be mine.

G D Em A

But in the end, he needs a little bit more than before,

G D C G

Security (he needs fantasy and freedom). I know him so well !

-Am-G-D G D G

3. No one in your life is with you constantly,

Em D C

no one is completely on your side.

G D C

And though I move my world to be with him,

Am C D

still the gap between us is too wide.

G D G

4. Looking back, I could've played it differently,

Em D C

learned about the man before I fell.

G D C

But I was ever so much younger then,

Am C D

now at least I know, I know him well.

G C

Wasn't it good (oh, so good), wasn't it fine (so fine),

Cm G

isn't it madness, he can't be mine.

Em - A Em

Didn't I know, how it would go,

A D D7

if I knew from the start, why am I falling (apart) + CHORUS

C Em - A C Am G

it took some time to understand him, ooh, I know him so well.
