I Know Him So Well

     G             D              G
    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               G         C       D      Cm
    from wanting far too much, for far too long.

     G                D                 G
    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               G       C       D
    now at least I know, I know him well.

           G
Wasn't it good (wasn't it good)?
           C
Wasn't it fine (wasn't it fine)?
         Cm                     G     E  Am
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
Security (he needs his fantasy and freedom)
    D          G      Cm G D D
I know him so well!

    G               D                G
    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                G     C       D     Cm  F
    still the gap between us is too wide.

     G                D                 G
    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               G       C       D
    now at least I know, I know him well.

           G
Wasn't it good (oh, so good)?
           C
Wasn't it fine (so fine)?
         Cm                     G
Isn't it madness?  He can't be mine.

              Am                Em
    Didn't I know, how it would go?
                         E
    If I knew from the start
     D                 G
    Why am I falling apart?
           C
Wasn't it fine (so fine)?
         Cm                     G     E  Am
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
Security (he needs his fantasy and freedom)
    D          G
I know him so well!

              Cm            G          A
It took some time to understand him
         D          G
Ooh, I know him so well.
