As recorded by the Kings Of Convenience (From the 2001 Album QUIET IS THE NEW LOUD) [Intro] Em7 Am7 Em7 Am7 [Verse]
Em7
Things seem so much better when

Am7
They're not part of your close surroundings

Em7                         Am7                      Bm7
Like words in a letter sent amplified by the distance

Em7
Possibilities and sweeter dreams

Am7                            Em7
Sights and sounds calling from far away

             Am7       D7
Calling from far away
[Chorus]
Em7
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?

  G7                B7             Em7
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me

                                   G7
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?

Am7                            Em7
I didn't see the brave girl so near me

Em7
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?

                    Am7             Em7
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me

G7              Cmaj7  Bm7
Sing softly to me
[Verse]
Em7                                       Am7
I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved

           Gmaj7       Em7    Am7      Bm7
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing

                      Em7             Am7
I wanted a story that couldn't be told

Gmaj7            Em7            Am7  Bm7
Only the fishing part of fishing
[Chorus]
  Em7                              G7
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?

  G7                B7             Em7
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me

                                   G7
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?

Am7              Bm7           
I didn't see the brave girl so near me

Em7
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?

G7                  Am7             Em7
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me

G7              Cmaj7  
Sing softly to me
[Outro]
    Bm7  Cmaj7        
And now I find

   Bm7             Cmaj7      
It was you all the time

   Em7         G7             
In love again, love again

     Em7            
It's too late now

       Gmaj7       Am7               
I'm in love again, love again

Am7                 
It's too late now

I'm in love again, love again

Em7                 
It's too late now

       Am7                      
I'm in love again, love again

Am7                 
It's too late now

       Em7          
I'm in love again, love again

Em7                 
It's too late now

                   Am7          
I'm in love again, love again

It's too late now
