[Verse 1]
Eb         Bb/D          Cm     Bb     Ab
I knew a boy that was swallowed by the sky
Eb        Ab
By the flashing lights
Eb       Bb/D          Cm      Bb           Ab
I knew a man that got lost in the big dark blue
Eb       Ab
And came out alive


[Chorus]
Abm      Bbm           B
I knew a boy, I knew a man
              Db        Eb
that looked a lot like you


[Verse 2]
Eb       Bb/D     Cm     Bb           Ab
I knew a time you could stand still beside
Eb            Ab
Never rushing by
Eb       Bb/D           Cm         Bb          Ab
I knew a place you can go for your head to explode
Eb            Ab
Into peace of mind


[Chorus]
Abm      Bbm             B
I knew a time, I knew a place
             Db        Eb
that felt a lot like you
Abm      Bbm            B
I knew a boy, I knew a man
             Db        Eb
who looked a lot like you

[Verse 3]
Eb       Bb/D               Cm     Bb           Ab
I knew a friend that would hold on to the flames
Eb               Ab
Keep them from burning you
Eb       Bb/D            Cm          Bb             Ab
I knew a smile like that could see through all of the stones
Eb             Ab
That the world had thrown

[Chorus]
