Intro

[C/G]

Verse 1

[C/G]Babe I know it swirls around [E7]me
Like the [F/C]sun shines on the [D7/F#]coast
Like a [C/G]weathered, [E7]torn, [F/C]once sturdy [D7/F#]barn
[C/G]I used to give you [G]shelter and [C/G]warmth[G]

Verse 2

[C/G]It's clear, I can [E7]see
The [F/C]dry grass at my [D7/F#]feet
As we [C/G]wait to [E7]go, if you [F/C]don't come [D7/F#]home I'll just say[C/G]
[G]"Baby I [C/G]know"[G]

Verse 3

Babe I [C/G]know
Baby I [E7]know
The [F/C]course has drifted [D7/F#]here
As we [C/G]swim to [E7]land, mouths [F/C]full of the [D7/F#]sand, just say[C/G]
[G]"Baby I [C/G]know"[G]

Verse 4

[C/G]I'm all tired and my throat's so [E7]dry
I [F/C]feel I'm barely holding [D7/F#]on
I'm gonna [C/G]sit around [E7]here with [F/C]this abscessed [D7/F#]fear and say[C/G]
[G]"Baby I[C/G] know"[G]

Bridge

Outro

Now there's [C/G]something that I [E7]want that [F/C]I'll never be[C/G]
Burned out [E7]full of [F/C]love[C/G]
Now sometimes I [E7]lay [F/C]here half awake[D7/F#]
And say, [C/G][E7]"baby I know"[C/G]
[C/G]Now sometimes I [E7]lay [F/C]here half [D7/F#]awake
And say, [C/G][G]"baby I know"[C/G]
