                        G
You said you wanted to feel alive
    D7sus4/A
So we went to the beach
                    G
You were born in July, '95
     D7sus4/A
In a deadly heat
     Am
You say you're a winter bitch
     C
But summer's in your blood
           Em         G        C
You can't help but become the sun

When you moved to Chicago
You were spinnin' out
When you don't know who you are
You fuck around and find out
When you called me from the train
Water freezin' in your eyes
You were happy and I wasn't surprised

Chorus:
        G            D7        C
And it feels good to be known so well
         G                 D7            C
I can't hide from you like I hide from myself

Now you're movin' in
Breakin' a sweat on your upper lip
And gettin' pissed about humidity
And the leaky faucet
You already hurt my feelings three times
In the way only you could

Chorus:
        G            D7        C
But it feels good to be known so well
         G                 D7           C
I can't hide from you like I hide from myself
     G           D7                C
I remember who I am when I'm with you
              G                   D7              C
Your love is tough, your love is tried and true blue
blue

             Am7
You've never done me wrong
             C
Except for that one time
               Em    G
That we don't talk about
   C                         Am7
Because it doesn't matter anymore
             C              Em
Who won the fight? I don't know
       G            C
We're not keeping score

Chorus:
And it feels good to be known so well
I can't hide from you like I hide from myself
I remember who I am when I'm with you
Your love is tough, your love is tried and true-blue

G     D7    C
Blue, blue, blue
