[Opening]
[G] [B] [Em] [A] [Am] [Bm] [Bbm] [Am] [D] [Em]
[G]I paid all my [B] [Em]dues, and she wanted to [A]know
[Am]That I’d never [Bm]leave [Bbm]her, [Am]but now I’m ready to [D]go [Em]
[G]And strange as it [B] [Em]seems, she’s endless to [A]me
[Am]She’s just like [Bm] [Bbm]paperwork, [Am]but harder to [D]read [Em]
[C]Patience’s my [Em]enemy [D] [G]and loving’s my [C]friend
It’s harder to [G]leave with my [Em]heart on my sleeve
Than to [G]stay and [G]just [C]pre[D]tend

[chorus]
Oh, [G]she [B]knows me [Em]so well [A]
Oh, [Am]she knows me [D]like I know [G]myself [C]

[verse 2]
[G]I made all my [B] [Em]plans, and she has [A]made hers
[Am]She kept me in [Bm]mind, [Bbm] [Am]but I wasn’t [D]sure [Em]
[G]I searched every [B]room [Em]for a way to [A]escape
But [Am]every time I try to leave
She keeps [Bm]holding on to me for [Bbm]dear [Am]life
And blocking my [D]way [Em]

[verse 3]
[C]Patience’s my [Em]enemy [D] [G]and loving’s my [C]f[C]riend
It’s harder to [G]leave with my [Em]heart on my sleeve
Than to [D]stay and just pretend

[chorus]
Oh, [G]she [B]knows me [Em]so well [A]
Oh, [Am]she knows me [D]like I know [G]myself [C]

[verse 4]
And like the [C]back of her hand she already [B]understands everything
Won’t [G]you stay? [C]She says
And she already knows how it [B]goes and where she stands
[G]I’ll stay, [C]anyway

[Closing]
‘Cause [C]she [D]knows me [Em]so well [G]
Oh, [C]she knows [D]me like I know [Em]myself [G]
Oh, [C]she knows m[D]e so w[Em]ell, o[G]oh
Oh,[C]she knows me[D]like I know m[Em]yself, I know m[G]yself
Oh,[C]she knows me[D]like I know m[G]yself[C]
I know [G]myself [C]I know [G]myself [C]
I know [G]myself.
