It Takes One To Know Me

Intro: G

Verse

G                             Em
It's true that I used to be crazy
    C                        D
and harder to love than most men
        G          Em                          G          Em
but the blood that ran through these tired old hands
    C                      D
was harder and wilder back then

and I don't feel as tall as I used to
maybe it's just that you've grown
you're the one that held my hand when I fell
when I just couldn't make it alone

Chorus
C                      G
I've lived out all the stories
C                G
sang all the old songs
   C            G
It takes one to know me
C D                G
I guess you're the one

Verse 2

My daughters are ladies of fortune
My son is an heir to the throne
and this crown that I hold is
tarnished and cold
but it's a symbol of all that I own
sometimes i wish i was younger
and could pick up the peices and run
but then i look back on the matter of fact
and it's a race that i've already won
