I Know Fiona Apple
This is a gorgeous song, played in 6/4 time, very slowly.
Forgive the funny spacing, I've tried to lay out the chords in correspondence
to the words. You really have to hear the song to get it precise though.
Intro:
[C] [Fm] [C] [Fm]
[C] [Am] [G] [C]
[C]So be[Fm] it I'm your crowbar
[C]If that's what[Fm] I am so far
[C]Until you g[Am]et ou[G]t of thi[C]s mess
[C]And I will [Fm]pretend
[C]That I don't know [Fm]of your sins
[C]Until you ar[Am]e ready[G] to con[F]fess
[F]But all the[Dm] time[Fm], al[D]l the time
[C]I'll kno[F]w, I'll[C] know[F]
[C]And you can [Fm]use my skin
[C]To bury [Fm]secrets in
[C]And I w[Am]ill [G]settle you [C]down
[C]And at my [Fm]own suggestion
[C]I will [Fm]ask no questions
[C]While I do my t[A]hing in the[G] backg[F]round
[F]But all the [Dm]time,[Fm] all[D] the time
[C]I'll know[F], I'll[C] know[F]
Bridge:
E Am (two measures each chord)
[E]Baby -- I can't help you[Am] out
[F]While she's still [C]around
[C]So fo[Fm]r the tim[C]e being
[C]I'm b[Fm]eing p[C]ati[Am]ent[G] [C]
[C]And amidst th[Fm]is bitterness
[C]If you'll just c[Fm]onsider this
[C]Even if it[Am] don't m[G]ake se[F]nse
[Dm]All the t[Fm]ime, giv[D]e it time
[C]And when the c[Fm]rowd becomes[C] your burden
And y[Fm]ou've early closed your cu[C]rtain
I'll w[Am]ait by the b[G]ackstage [C]door
[C]While you [Fm]try to find
[C]The lines[Fm] to speak your mind
[C]And pry it open ho[Am]ping f[G]or an e[F]ncore
And if it [Dm]gets too late[Fm] for me[D] to wait
[C]For you to find you l[E]ove me, and t[C]ell me so
[Am]It's o[D]k, d[F]on't need to [G]say it...
Outro - C Fm (six measures, ending on C)
