When I Knew Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I c[Em]ould[D][Bm][Em][D]
see the
tops of her white sock[Bm]s
just [Em]beneath the desk
Her [D]pants didn't reach
all the way [Em]down her legs
And you know [G]what happened next
[F#m]I said hi politely,
and we went [A]out for coffee
Yeah, [D]yeah, yeah,
[G]that was when I knew,
[A]that was when I knew
I was [F#m]right, that [A]was when [G]I knew
They said we [D]liked weird music,
and she played [Em]me a soft machine
And [D]lent me a record that badly warped,
which screwed [Em]up everything
I was broke [G]just 15,
I scoured [F#m]Lon don for a replacement
Found one cheap [A]in an
Oxford Street basement,
yeah, yeah
And [G]that was when I knew,
[A]that was when I knew
I was [F#m]wrong, wrong, wrong
That [A]was when I knew,
[G]that was when I [Bm]knew
[D][Em][D][Bm][Em]
I [D]met her in my bedroom
at a [Em]party Halloween
And she was [D]wearing
a pair of dungarees
[Bm]I said, co[Em]me on Eileen
I was be[G]ing slightly mean
And it just [F#m]made her smile
Which made [A]me feel childish
Yeah, yeah, yeah, [G]that was when I knew
That [A]was when I knew
I was [F#m]wrong, wrong, wrong
That [A]was when I knew,
[G]that was when I knew
Well we [D]played a song from
scratch that night
[Bm]And when she'd[Em] done with singing
She [D]just took off stage right
[Bm]Left[Em] us winging it
And the [G]band went down swinging
As she made [F#m]her exit arms in the air
Well I caught [A]her, I was unprepared
That [G]was when I knew, [A]that was when I knew
I was [F#m]wrong, that [A]was when I knew,
[G]that was when [Bm]I knew[D][Em][D]
[Em]
She picked me [D]up at the hotel
[Bm]in an ol[Em]d red Mustang
[D]Took me to a demonstra
[Bm]tion of [Em]strum and drag
She [G]listened, I sang
And we drove [F#m]to Dallas
rather than flying
Cause we [A]didn't feel like dying
And I [Em]couldn't get her out of my head
So I [D]got her out of hers instead
I [Em]couldn't get her out of my head
So I got [D]her out of hers instead
I [Em]couldn't get her out of my head
and we [Bm]ended up [A]in bed
She glided [D]by on antique roller skates
and [Em]overtook our car
I [D]watched her disappear
from where [Em]we parked
It was just [G]south of market,
in the [F#m]Castro sun she glistened
And [A]when she spoke, I listened
That [G]was when I knew,
[A]that was when I knew
I was [F#m]wrong, wrong, wrong
That [A]was when I knew,
[G]that was when I knew
Said [D]I'd cook a curry
Which got [Em]me in her kitchen
But a friend [D]turned up by chance
An[Bm]d my[Em] spice seemed
less bewitching
Which left [G]me feeling itchy
She stayed [F#m]for one old bottle of wine
But we [A]played it cool, we bide our time
That [G]was when I knew,
that [A]was when I [F#m]knew
