Sufjan Stevens - Should Have Known Better: chords

Em                        A
I should have known better
                     G
To see what I could see
         Cmaj7/E
My black shroud
                 D/F#
Holding down my feelings
                   C6
A pillar for my enemies

Em                         A
I should have wrote a letter
                              G
And grieve what I happen to grieve
          Cmaj7/E
My black shroud
                  D/F#
I never trust my feelings
                     C6
I waited for the remedy

Chorus:
Am           C/G                 D/F#
When I was three, three maybe four
                    C6          G
She left us at that video store
       D           C6    G
Be my rest, be my fantasy
       D           C6
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud
Frightened by my feelings
I only wanna be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I wanna believe

Chorus:
When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy

    G                C
I should have known better
                 D
Nothing can be changed
                       G
The past is still the past
       D
The bridge to nowhere
Cmaj7                      Em D
I should have wrote a letter
                   G                D
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter (fool in the fetter)
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter (brother had a daughter)
The beauty that she brings, illumination
(illumination)
Illumination
