Knowing Intro Am x 8 F x 8 Verse 1 I don’t know what it’s like To wake up in the night And feel like there’s something wrong To feel like there’s something gone Verse 2 I don’t know what it’s like To know there’s a life inside And then to know that it’s gone To know that something’s gone wrong Chorus I know that our baby’s gone x 4 Verse 3 But I wonder sometimes What would they be like What would their future hold A future I’ll never know Chorus Verse 4 Yet I know what it’s like To cry as I watch you cry To put ashes in the ground To let go of what cant be found Written 18JAN2022

Crystals Verse (Am x 2 C x 2 Dm x 2 Am x 2 ) x 4 Chorus (F x 4 G x 4) x 4 Verse 1 All night I’ve been driving, down this empty road Can’t see a light out here, nowhere left to go The stars all glitter, like crystals in the sky She’s lying behind me, now I think she’s going to die Chorus She’ll be out here Waiting for the sun She’ll be out here Waiting for everyone Verse 2 So I’ve been watching, waiting for the day Waiting with anger, waiting with pain I can’t just have it, it’s something I need There’s hunger inside me, I’m waiting to feed Chorus Verse 3 I feel like no-one, like I’m never seen A tower of nothing, inside a human being But I’ve caught something, here with me now Trapped inside this car, I’ll show her how Chorus - solo Verse 4 Secrets I’m keeping, out here on the road Secrets and knowledge, that only I know They may well catch me, maybe someday But these secrets are mine, keep them locked away Chorus Written 19FEB2022
