Devendra Banhart – Now That I Know (Guitar)

           C
Now that I know

    Bb/C
The way it goes

          F/C                           C
You gotta pay back every penny that you owe

             C
Twelve years old

Bb/C
In your mama's clothes

F/C                               C
Shut the blinds and lock up every door

           C
And if you hear

Bb/C
Someone's comin near

     F/C                                C
Just close your eyes and make them disappear now

       C
Years away

Bb/C
Finds me here today

F/C                    C
On my own always on my way now

             C
So I send my friends

Bb/C
Gifts from where I've been

F/C                                           C
Something for the hand they're never there to lend

                  C
Better keep those eyes

Bb/C
Climbing paradise

    F/C                                     C
And don't pretend you won't reach it in the end now

        C
Dearest dear

  Bb/C
I know you been here

F/C                                  C
Why'd you run tell me why'd you disappear now

            C
That you're not

Bb/C
Here with me

F/C                                          C
Seems to be the only time that I can see you clearly

         C
I may not know

       Bb/C
How to treat or give you what you need

      F/C                             C
But I am a gentleman who says what he means now

          C
And now I sing

 Bb/C
Upon my knees

    F/C                             C
And praise the kindness of a gentle breeze

         C
I see it swell

       Bb/C
Like a story in me to tell

     F/C                         C
Told years away and past my baby dying

                  C
So you raise them up

   Bb/C
To heaven always hell

        F/C                            C
they're unaware, share, give a hand to help son

                  C
Oh you give them away

                 Bb/C
But they'll come back to you someday

      F/C                               C
Wanna know why nobody was ever there to help them

                C
And no it ain't fair

       Bb/C
And if God forbid you care

      F/C                               C
It's enough to get you in a whole lotta trouble

      C
Oh realize

         Bb/C
It ain't wise to idealize

   F/C                               C
Or put your life in the hands of any struggle

        C
Never renounce

   Bb/C
Or ever claim to be

    F/C                               C
And never buy that freedom just ain't free now

     C
Ella sang

Bb/C
Sifting in the sand

       F/C                          C
Like a hymn within to help us understand

        C
Heaven awaits

      Bb/C
We're making our stand

F/C                            C
Glory bound and sparrow in our hand
