Sufjan Stevens - Should Have Known Better

Em                       A
I should have known better
                      G
To see what I could see
              C
My black shroud
                      Bm
holding down my feelings
                      Am
a pillar for my enemies

Em                         A
I should have wrote a letter
                                 G
and grieve what I happen to grieve
             C
My black shroud
                        Bm
I never trust my feelings
                    Am
I waited for the remedy

(Am)

Am             C               D
When I was three three maybe four
(D)                     Em Em - D - G
She left us at that video store
(G)      D          Am Am - D - G
be my rest be my fantasy
(G)      D            Am
be my rest be my fantasy

(Am)

Em                  A
I'm light as a feather
                             G
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
               C
My black shroud
                       Bm
frightened by my feelings
                      Am
I only wanna be a relief

Em                   A
No I'm not a go-getter
                         G
The demon had a spell on me
              C
My black shroud
                   Bm
captain of my feelings
                           Am
The only thing I wanna believe

Am             C                  D
When I was three and free to explore
(D)                           Em Em - D - G
I saw her face on the back of the door
(G)      D             Am Am - D - G
be my rest be my fantasy
(G)       D             Am
be my rest be my fantasy

G                        C
I should have known better
                     D
Nothing can be changed
                         Em
The past is still the past
        D           C
The bridge to nowhere
(C)                      Am
I should have wrote a letter
                         D           Em D G
explaining what I feel that empty feeling

G               C                 D
don't back down concentrate on seeing
(D)                      Em        D        C
The breakers in the bar the neighbor's greeting
(C)                     Am
My brother had a daughter
                              D     Em D G
The beauty that she brings illumination

G               C                   D
don't back down there is nothing left
(D)                      Em       D    C
The breakers in the bar no reason to live
(C)                    Am
I'm a fool in the fetter
                       D                 Em D G
Rose of Aaron's beard where you can reach me

G               C                   D
don't back down nothing can be changed
(D)          Em             D   C
cantilever bridge the drunken sailor
(C)                    Am
My brother had a daughter
                             D     Em D
The beauty that she brings illumination
G
illumination
