This Is How I Know
by Ron Sexsmith
Capo 5
Intro: Dm - C D
Verse
D A G A
From the darkness to a seed of light,
D A G A
From a garden to a sheet of ice.
F#m Em
Feel you move in every sunrise
F#m Em
In the town with all the leaves;
G A D
This is now I know you're near me.
D A G A
From the ashes of a broken home
D A G A
I sent a message to the great unknown.
F#m Em
Though the music on the radio
F#m Em
Came to set me free;
G A D
This is how I know you hear me.
Refrain
D Cmaj7 D
This is how I know the trials are not in vain.
D Cmaj7 D
This is how I know We'll rise and love again.
D Dm C D
This is how I know.
Instrumental (same chords as the verse)
Refrain
Verse
D A G A
From a moment to a sea of days,
D A G A
From an ocean to single wave.
F#m Em
Out of nothing came the miracle
F#m Em
That brought us into being;
G A D
This is how I know it will be.
G A
This is how I know,
Bm E
This is how I know,
G A D
This is how I know it will be.
