[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C       F
 I knew you
Through the daze of the
                        C
 blades of the grass in summer
    F
Parachutes for the free 
fall of being younger
Em F   G                 
I  memorized the sound of 
               C
your bare footsteps
        Bb        
Running wild, it's 
             Am
been a long time
                 A7     
Life has ways of leaving
              Dm
 those days behind
                 G
But seeing you tonight

[Chorus]
               C
I remembered I loved you

Came back when it mattered
  F
I saw you
Standing there in the
             C
 light of the window

Wearing that same smile
          F
Man, it's been a while
                 C
But I knew it, I knew ya
F
 I knew it, I knew ya

[Verse 2]
C       F
 I knеw you
                          
All your blues like a mood
               C
 ring changing colors
        F
You did too

Therе were times we could
 fight like brothers
Em F           G
I  watched you drive 
around the bend
   C                       
For what I thought would be
     Bb
 the last time I saw my friend
Am                     A7     
  But love has ways of bringing
                 Dm
 things back to life
                G
All you said was, "Hi"

[Chorus]
                   C
And I remembered I loved you

Came back when it mattered
  F
I saw you
Standing there in the
              C
 light of the window

Wearing that same smile

Man, it's been a while

But I knew it, I knew you

[Bridge]
C
 Oh
             Bb        
The rivers I cried when 
             Am
we said goodbye
                 A7  
Wondering if I'd made 
             Dm
it up in my mind
                           G
But now you look me in the eye

[Chorus]
                  C
And you told me I loved you
     G
Came back when it mattered
  Am
I saw you
         G                 
Standing there in the light
        F
 of the window
             C/E
Wearing that same smile
           Dm
Yeah, it's been a while, oh-oh
F             C/E
 Wearing that same smile
          Dm
Man, it's been a while
 (Man, it's been a while)
F             C/E
 Wearing that same smile
          Dm
Man, it's been a while
                 C       
But I knew it, I knew you 
         F
(Ooh, I knew you, I knew)

[Post-Chorus]
             C        F
I knew it, I knew you
                         C
Wearing that same smile (Ooh,
 I knew you, I knew)
             F       C
I knew it, I knew ya (Ooh,
 I knew you, I knew)
             F
I knew it, I knew ya 
(Ooh, I knew you, I knew)
          C
I knew it

How to play I Knew It I Knew You: key, chords and progression

These are I Knew It I Knew You chords by Taylor Swift in Toy Story 5 on Piano and Ukulele.

I Knew It I Knew You by Taylor Swift is centred on F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 9 chords: C, F, Em, G, Bb, Am, A7, Dm and C/E.

Listen for F – C – F – Em (I – V – I – vii in F major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – doh – te. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, F and Bb need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
