Luke Bryan - I Knew You That Way

intro . : ( C ) x 4 bars

the ( C ) secret way long shadows bleed into the night
the desperate way leaves in the fall hold colors tight
the ( Dm ) way that thunder knows the taste of ( G ) summer rain
i knew ( C ) you that way

the ( C ) way cool mountain waters dance down to the sea
bound by something strong , but still so wild and free
it ( Dm ) gives into the passion of the ( G ) path it takes
i knew ( C ) you that way

( chorus )
i ( F ) held you closer ( Dm ) than i had A ( C ) right to hold
but the ( Dm ) only thing that ( Am ) time can’t take A – ( G ) way
is i knew ( C ) you that way

the ( C ) way that skin on skin can start a crazy fire
that no one sees but burns all night long with desire
the ( Dm ) quiet ease that makes a lover ( G ) wanna stay
i knew ( C ) you that way

( chorus )
i ( F ) held you closer ( Dm ) than i had A ( C ) right to hold
but the ( Dm ) only thing that ( Am ) time can’t take A – ( G ) way
is i knew ( C ) you that way | ( C ) | ( C ) | ( C )

the ( C ) holy way that love knows it should never end
the sacred way that stars guide sailors home again
like ( Dm ) teardrops know the words to A – ( G ) mazing grace
i knew ( C ) you that way

( tag )
i knew ( C ) you that way , i knew you that way – – – – –
