Lori McKenna - That's How You Know
[Intro]
C Cmaj7 Am F C
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
When you take the train to midtown
Am
To have coffee by yourself
F
Pull the pictures from the drawer
C
And put 'em back up on the shelf
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
When you hear the sound of church bells
Am
And they don’t make you wanna cry
F
And you’re not getting drunk
C
Just so you can hide
[Chorus]
F
That’s how you know
C
That’s how you know
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7
When you open up the curtains
Am
Start answering the phone
F
Stop driving 'round for hours
C
'Cause you hate going home
[Verse 4]
Cmaj7
When you can talk about it
Am
Even say their name
F
When you start thinking you’ll survive
C
Even though you’ll never be the same
[Chorus]
F
That’s how you know
C Cmaj7
That’s how you know
F
That’s how you know
C
That’s how you know
[Bridge]
Dm G
There’s no such thing as a long goodbye
C F
When you wish it would’ve lasted your whole life
[Verse 5]
C Cmaj7
When you don’t need a cigarette
Am
Or a pill to help you sleep
F
When you don’t end every night
C
On the hard wood on your knees
[Verse 6]
Cmaj7
When you wake up one morning
Am
Surprised to see the world exists
F
And your eyes ain’t full of tears
C
And your heart ain’t full of bitterness
[Chorus]
F
That’s how you know
C Cmaj7
That’s how you know
F
That’s how you know
C
That’s how you know
[Interlude]
C Am F C Am F C
[Verse 7]
Cmaj7
When you’re thankful that you ever knew
Am
A love this strong
F
When you finally find the courage
C
To write this song
[Chorus]
F
That’s how you know
C Cmaj7
That’s how you know
F
That’s how you know
C
You’re moving on
