You Know What I Mean

(Bonner-Gordon)



Intro:  E        F#7          E



        E               F#

        Shouldn't we two be together

         E               F#

        You know what I mean

           A               D                 G                     E

        To be with you is something like a dream (you know what I mean)

                    A      D

        And if you want me to

                    A       D       G

        I'll bring sunshine to you only



Verse 2:



                    E            F#

        You better stop, take a look about

             E           F#

        You know what I mean

            A              D                   G               E

        If only you could see the dreams that seem to mean so much to me

                    A               D

        Then you'd know the reason why

                 A            E

        I would rather say "I do" than say

             D       A      D      A

        Goodbye and let you go forever

         B

        Wouldn't we two be together



Bridge:



         E        F#       E       F#

        Can't you see that I want you

            A

        For me forever

         C#                   F#

        Wouldn't we two be together



Verse 3:



        B                   C#                  B               C#

        Do you know what I mean, can't you read in between the lines

                       E              A                 D      B

        Sometimes I'm talking and it doesn't seem too clear

                    E       A

        But if you have to know

                E            B                E / / /  / / F# /

        I'm in love if only you know what I mean
