"We've Met"
From the album "Here We Rest"
G
We've met,
D Em
I can tell you don't remember. I can see it in your face.
C
Should've never left this place.
G D Em
We've met, before you we're a Christian, before your eyes were blue.
C
Did all that get you through?
C7 C C7 C C7 C7 C C7 C C7 G
And do you know how long I've waited? Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
G
Dream big.
D Em
That's what you used to tell me before I went away.
C
Would you say the same today?
G D Em
You knew that I couldn't work the foundry and I couldn't play the fool
C
and I couldn't stay with you.
C7 C C7 C C7
And the drunks all think we've made it
C7 C C7 C C7 G
And the girls all twist and shake it like they do.
C7 C C7 C C7
My playground fears have faded
C7 C C7 C C7 G
Replaced with grown up nightmares that come true.

G
We've met
D Em
This city was the country. That mountain was the sea.
C
Did I even look like me?
G D Em
I'll bet This town is in your blood now, but it didn't have to be, no it
C
didn't have to be.
C7 C C7 C C7 C7 C C7 C C7
We thought we'd find the answers in the troubadours and dancers
G
Brand new.
C7 C C7 C C7
Do you think I've learned my lesson?
C7 C C7 C C7 G
Did I make a new impression on you?
G
We've met,
D Em
I can tell you don't remember. I can see it in your face.
C
Should've never left this place.
