Del Water Gap - I Hope You Understand

Capo: 4th fret

[Verse 1]

Cmaj7 Am Cmaj7
…I had a dream you killed me
F Em Cmaj7
Bread knife to my throat
Am Cmaj7
You cracked a smile and kissed me
F Em Cmaj7
And you cut me like a loaf
Am Cmaj7
But lying on the gurney
F Em Cmaj7
Bleeding like a pig
Am Cmaj7
I took your hands and worried
F F
How without me you’d live

[Chorus]

Am G Dm Em G
…Even when it’s hurting,………
F Am G
I hope you understand what you are to me
Dm Em F
I hope you understand what you are to me

I, I

F Am G Dm Em
…….And maybe I deserve it
F Am G
I hope you understand what you are to me
Dm Em F
I hope you understand what you are to me

I, I

[Verse 2]

Cmaj7 Am Cmaj7
….I wanna take you with mе
F Em Cmaj7
Airplane food for two
Am Cmaj7
I’ll put you in my suitcase
F Em Cmaj7
And come out barеly bruised
Am Cmaj7
I’m so scared of the distance
F Em Cmaj7
I’m scared of how you feel
Am Cmaj7
When you’re back in his living room
F F
And I’m holding back tears

F Em Dm
…Now I’m sucking on a stranger
G Am F
And I’m picturing you move
Em Dm
You speak to me in languages
F F
You learned in boarding school

[Chorus]

Am G Dm Em G
…Even when it’s hurting……..
F Am G
I hope you understand what you are to me
Dm Em
I hope you understand what you are to me

……And maybe I deserve it
F Am G
I hope you understand what you are to me
Dm Em F
I hope you understand what you are to me

I, I

[Bridge]

Dm
I don’t wanna move out west
Em F
Wait on tables in Venice
G Am
Beg my brother for money
Am
And a credit card for the rest
Dm
Falling sicker and sicker
Em F
Of the bartering with myself
G Am
Sign my life to a label
Am
Getting famous and getting shelved
G
No, I don’t wanna fol-
G
I don’t wanna follow

F G Am G
Dm Em F G F

[Chorus]

Am G Dm Em G
….Even when it’s hurting,……….

I hope you understand what you are to me

I, I
F Am G Dm Em
……..And maybe I deserve it
F Am G
I hope you understand what you are to me
Dm Em F
I hope you understand what you are to me

I, I
