Should Have Known Better Chords by Sufjan Stevens

[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ I should have known [A] better, to see what [G] I could see
My [C] black shroud, holding [Bm] down my feelings, a pillar for my [C] enemies
_ _ I _ _ _
[Em] _ _ should have wrote a [A] letter, and breathed what [G] I happened to grieve
My black [C] shroud, I never [Bm] trust my feelings, I waited for the [C] remedy _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ When [C] I was three, three [Bm] maybe four, she left us [C] at that video store
[G] _ Oh, [D] be my rest, [C] be my fantasy
_ [G] _ Oh, [D] be my rest, [C] be my fantasy _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ I'm like a [A] feather, _ bright as the [G] Oregon breeze
My [Em] black shroud, frightened [Bm] by my feelings, I only wanna [C] be your relief
No, _ _ _ _
[Em] _ I'm not a go [A] getter, the demon had a [G] spell on me
[C] My black shroud, captain [D] of my feelings, the only thing I [C] wanna believe _
And _ _ _ [Am] _ _ when [C] I was three, and free [D] to explore, I saw her [C] face on the back of the door
[G] _ Oh, be my rest, [C] be my fantasy
_ [G] _ Oh, be my rest, [C] be my fantasy _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ I should have known [C] better, nothing [D] can be changed
My past is [G] still the past, [D] the bridge to [C] nowhere
I should have wrote a letter, _ _ _
[D] _ _ explaining [Em] what I feel, [D] that empty [G] feeling
_ No, [C] not now, [D] concentrate on seeing
The breakers [G] in the bar, [D] the neighbors [G] grieving
My brother and [C] daughter, the _
[D] _ _ beauty [G] that she brings, [D] _
[G] illumination
_ Come [C] back now, there is [D] nothing left
The breakers [G] in the bar, [D] no reason [G] to live
I'm a fool like the [C] feather, _ _ [D] rose _ of [Em] Aaron's beard
[Bm] Where you can [G] reach me
_ Come [C] back now, nothing [D] can be changed
Can't [G] believe the bridge, [D] the drunken [Em] sailor
My brother and [C] daughter, _ _ _
[D] _ _ the beauty [G] that she brings, [D] _
[C] illumination [D] Illumination [C] Illumination _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
