about

I rarely play this song at shows. Why? Because the chord position I use hurts the back of my hand. I'm not kidding!

lyrics

We've spent too many nights

Dangling from this rope

The tension I fear is strangling us both

Everything's wrong cause we both think we're right

It seems like we'll never make it through the night

But I know you'll stay and everything's going to be OK

I don't know much but I know I can say


That I know you

Better than maybe you want me to

I know you Like the back of my

The back of my hand

With veins to my heart


We all have a plan a place we should go

The best way to get there

We all think we know

But some days I wake up and all I can see

Is that I'm so far away

From where I thought I should be

But you calm my fears

You take my hand and you dry my tears

You say you'll have your day

I don't know much but I know I can say


That I know you

Better than maybe you want me to

I know you

Like the back of my

The back of my hand

With veins to my heart


Life is full of doubt

So many things I don't know about


But I know you

Better than maybe you want me to I know you

Like the back of my

The back of my hand

With veins to my heart
