You Know Who I Am Leonard Cohen

Intro

[Am]

I c[Am]annot follow y[Bm]ou, my love

[Am]You cannot follow m[Bm]e

[D]I am the distance you p[A]ut between

All of the m[G]oment[B7/F#]s that we will b[E]e

You kn[D]ow who I [A]am

You've st[D]ared at the s[A]un

Well [D]I am the [A]one who loves

Ch[G]anging from nothing to [E]one[Am]

Sometimes I need you naked

Sometimes I need you wild

I need you to carry my children in

And I need you to kill a child

You know who I am

You've stared at the sun

Well I am the one who loves

Changing from nothing to one

If you should ever track me down

I will surrender there

And I will leave with you one broken man

Whom I will teach you to repair

You know who I am

You've stared at the sun

Well I am the one who loves

Changing from nothing to one

I cannot follow you, my love

You cannot follow me

I am the distance you put between

All of the moments that we will be

You know who I am

You've stared at the sun

Well I am the one who loves

Changing from nothing to one
