D
There is a long forgotten voice,
Bm
I know it's not your voice,
A
because it's always strained,
D Bm
I wake up hearing unfamiliar voices,
A
convinced they're trying to explain,
D
that if my words were clearer,
Bm A
then maybe I would know what I'm trying to say,
D
just as those long forgotten voices,
Bm A
disappear back into rain,
Bridge
E D
If I was born the same day that you die,
A
should that make me try,
E D
I was born the same day that you die,
A
should that make me feel more alive,
Chorus
A E
Not just sometimes but always,
D A
I know what I know,
A E
I know what I know,
D A
I know what I know,
Verse 2
D
I tune the radio,
Bm A
to drown out these voices I don't know,
D
and suddenly an empty house,
Bm A
it almost fills up with hope,
D
there are days and nights when,
Bm A
I don't need to close my eyes,
D
and they feel as real to me,
Bm A
like an elegy in the skies,
Bridge
E D
If I was born the same day that you die,
A
should that make me try,
E D
I was born the same day that you die,
A
should that make me feel more alive,
Chorus
A E
Not just sometimes but always,
D A
I know what I know,
A E
I know what I know,
D A
I know what I know,
A E
Not just sometimes but always,
D A
I know what I know,
A E
I know what I know,
D A
I know what I know,
