YOU KNOW WHO I AM- Leonard Cohen
Am (riff 2x)
Am Bm
I cannot follow you my love
Am Bm
You cannot follow me
D A
I am the distance you put between
G G/F# E
All of the moments that we will be
CHORUS:
D A
You know who I am
D A
You’ve stared at the sun
D A
Well I am the one who loves
G G/# E Am (riff)
Changing from nothing to one
Sometimes I need you naked
Sometimes I need you wild
I need you to carry my children in
And I need you to kill a child ...CHORUS
If you should ever track me down
I will surrender there
And I will leave with you one broken man
Whom I will teach you to repair ...CHORUS
I cannot follow you, my love
You cannot follow me
I am the distance you put between
All of the moments that we will be ...CHORUS
