When we met I was wide eyed city boy
Singin in the streets to feed my hope and joy
We had mad lovin and so fast was our flame
When it went out you got so mad
Talkin trash bout me
Comin round at me
Making a tale of fools gold my reputation
Little miss sunshines who I met that day
When I walked out it felt like a hurricane
Chorus
Thought I knew ya
Like I could see right through ya
But the look in your eyes took me by surprise'
And I lost control
Thought I knew ya
Like I had a direct line to ya
But I was wrong
Then I caught a shooting a star living photograph
A Buddhist hipster from the purple skies of LA
The ground would shake all understanding now
As I was so smitten with her suede
It went from screamin oh baby!!
To see you later maybe
I aint laughin now how the tables turn
Her fine print swiftly stole away
Ill see you in the next life baby namaste'
Chorus
Thought I knew ya
Thought I could see right through ya
What a surprise to open your eyes
And find a hole in your soul
I thought I knew ya
Like I had a direct line
to some power greater than myself
Bridge
So I walked down to the Someday Café
To get my cup o coffee for the day
But they tore it down and
Put up another bank of the USA
Where my paradise used to be
Am hammer ons like intro......solo that I can't play.
Chorus
I thought I knew ya
Thought I knew myself too yeah
The chink in the wall
I scratched it only yesterday
I thought I knew ya
But my lines were rusted through yeah
But to think is wrong but to sing is right
So meet me at the bridge tonight
Bridge
To see me reflection in the pond
To wonder whats a goin on beyond
What Im tryin to say just wont come out
But I long to hear you
Am runs as per the intro -- hammer on w/ ur onky on 3rd fret G and B Strings.
Good luck ...anyone feel like adding to this one feel free.
I'm open for criticism. Hopefully this helps someone out there.
Peace,
Craig
