I [G]know a girl, she knows the world in ways so many don't
She's [G]always one for company but don't mind her being alone
She [G]dreams too big and sleeps too little and rises before the sun
When the [G]midnight oil turns saints to sinners, she rivals before the dawn
Oh, how [Am]lucky am I [C]...to know a [G]girl
I [G]know a girl, she knows the world in ways so many won't
Her [G]interest in something less is quicksand to the stone
She [G]binds her time, she writes and bites her nails down to the quip
Her [G]soul is wise and breadwood high, her roots are wild and string
Oh, how [Am]lucky am I [C]...to know a [G]girl
Yeah, how [Am]lucky am I [C]...to know a [G]girl
She's the[Am] light that you leave on be[C]fore you come to bed
She's the [Em]aching in your heart, she's the [G]song inside your head
how [Am]lucky am I [C]...to know a [G]girl
I [G]know a girl, I know a girl in ways so many won't
I've [G]seen her sweet, her veterans beat, her breakdown to the bone
I [G]let her in under my skin, she lets me take her home
She's n[G]ever less, simply the best, the best I've ever known
How how [Am]lucky am I [C]...to know a [G]girl
Yeah, how [Am]lucky am I [C]...to know a [G]girl
