C  Cmaj7  Am    F    C

[Verse 1]
                           Cmaj7
When you take the train to midtown 
        Am
To have coffee by yourself
         F
Pull the pictures from the drawer 
            C
And put 'em back up on the shelf


[Verse 2]
                           Cmaj7
When you hear the sound of church bells
               Am
And they don’t make you wanna cry
    F
And you’re not getting drunk
C
Just so you can hide


[Chorus]
               F
That’s how you know
               C
That’s how you know


[Verse 3]
                     Cmaj7
When you open up the curtains
      Am
Start answering the phone
     F
Stop driving 'round for hours
           C
'Cause you hate going home


[Verse 4]
                   Cmaj7
When you can talk about it
Am
Even say their name
               F
When you start thinking you’ll survive
                   C
Even though you’ll never be the same


[Chorus]
               F
That’s how you know
               C      Cmaj7
That’s how you know
               F
That’s how you know
               C
That’s how you know


[Bridge]
        Dm                  G
There’s no such thing as a long goodbye
         C                            F
When you wish it would’ve lasted your whole life


[Verse 5]
     C                Cmaj7
When you don’t need a cigarette 
     Am
Or a pill to help you sleep
         F
When you don’t end every night 
            C
On the hard wood on your knees


[Verse 6]
                     Cmaj7
When you wake up one morning
         Am
Surprised to see the world exists
         F
And your eyes ain’t full of tears
                     C
And your heart ain’t full of bitterness


[Chorus]
               F
That’s how you know
               C      Cmaj7
That’s how you know
               F
That’s how you know
               C
That’s how you know


[Interlude]
C  Am  F  C    Am  F  C


[Verse 7]
                     Cmaj7
When you’re thankful that you ever knew 
  Am
A love this strong
         F
When you finally find the courage 
   C
To write this song


[Chorus]
               F
That’s how you know
               C      Cmaj7
That’s how you know
               F
That’s how you know
              C
You’re moving on
