TITLE: I Know Him So Well
Lyrics and Chords


[Chess]

Florence:
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

/ G D7 G - / Em - C - / G D7 C - / Am - D - / :

Florence: Wasn't it good
    Svetlana: Oh so good
F: Wasn't he fine
    S: Oh so fine
F: Isn't it madness
Both: He can't be mine
F: But in the end he needs a little bit more than me, more security
S: He needs his fantasy and freedom
Both: I know him so well

Svetlana:
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back I could have played it differently
    F: Looking back I could have played things some other way
Learned about the man before I fell
    F: I was just a little careless maybe
But I was ever so much younger then
    F: Now at least I know him well
Now at least I know I know him well
    F: I know I know him well

S: Wasn't it good
    F: Oh so good
S: Wasn't he fine
    F: Oh so fine
S: Isn't it madness
Both: He won't be mine
Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart

... / Em - C - / A7 - / D D7 /

S: Wasn't it good, wasn't he fine
F: Isn't it madness
Both: He won't be mine
F: But in the end he needs a little bit more than me, more security
S: He needs his fantasy and freedom
F: I know him so well
S: It took time to understand him
Both: I know him so well
