I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
Written by Skip Ewing, Keith Urban and Matt Rollings

The chord voicings in this arrangement mimic the big piano chords
on a single guitar. The chord names allow for either the extension
or the bass note to be omitted in a simplified performance.

2 beats per chord
` = 2 beats
' = 1 beat

INTRO:
Am  Cmaj7    Fadd9  `    Am  Cmaj7    Fadd9  `

VERSE:
C   G/C         Fadd9  `  C         G/C  Dm7   E7/G#
  I thought you knew        I guess I as-sumed too    
Am     Am9        C/D     D         Fadd9  C      G7sus4  `
Much I don't know how but now we're so far out of touch
C       G/C   Fadd9  `  C    G/C    Dm7  E7/G#
  And I never planned     to so mis-un-  der-
Am        Am9      C/D    D         Fadd9       `          Gsus4      G
stand but what you needed you never asked me to give and I swear as I live

CHORUS:
C   `           Bb/C    `         Fadd9          `       Dm7   G11
  I thought you knew my heart was yours and that we were so to-gether that
C        `      Bb/C  `        F         F/E     Dm7     'G11   'E7/G#
We would always be  I don't be-lieve you leavin' me's the answer I'm not
Am            Em/G             Fadd9         '   'E7/G#
Askin' you to let me rush back in and fail a-gain   I'm
Am             Em/G             Fadd9   '    'C/E
Askin' for one chance not to as-sume so I can say
Dm7   `  G7sus4    `
And do     all the things I thought you

RE-INTRO:
Am  Cmaj7    Fadd9  `    Am  Cmaj7    Fadd9  `
Knew

VERSE:
C    G/C     Fadd9  `  C    G/C       Dm7   E7/G#
  So here we are         so far we're still so
Am       Am9      C/D     D             Fmaj9         `         Gsus4       G
Far from where we know we should be I'm searching for words and you haven't heard

CHORUS:
C   `           Bb/C    `         Fadd9          `       Dm7   G11
  I thought you knew my heart was yours and that we were so to-gether that
C        `      Bb/C  `        F         F/E     Dm7     'G11   'E7/G#
We would always be  I don't be-lieve you leavin' me's the answer I'm not
Am            Em/G             Fadd9         '   'E7/G#
Askin' you to let me rush back in and fail a-gain   I'm
Am             Em/G             Fadd9   '    'C/E
Askin' for one chance not to as-sume so I can say
Dm7   `  G7sus4    `
And do     all the things I thought you

CODA:
Fmaj9  `  G/F  `  Fmaj9  `  Gsus4  `
Knew                                 I thought you

These voicings give a reasonable sound which is not too 'dirgy'.
Bb/C for C13 is the biggest compromise.

Am9 is a passing chord on the 'and' of Beat-2
Harmony returns to Am on Beat-4

A similar passing chord occurs in the CHORUS:

   C        G/C     C    Bb/C
     "I     thought you  knew"
  "We would al-     ways be"
