The Luxury Of Knowing - Keith Urban

The Luxury Of Knowing chords

Keith continues to show his guitar prowess with this song in taking tuning and the guitar to their 

extremes. This track will test your acoustic's intonation for certain. The guitar is tuned like Drop 

D tuning but a full step down...the low E string is now C. Accurate tuning and a gentle touch are 

critical on this song. Those strings move around alot at such low tensions...easily taking you out 

of tune on note attacks.

The following chords are played and named as if in Drop D tuning. Actual chords are shown in ( ). If 

you play Drop D, this will be easy. Just tune down a full step.

Tuning   C,G,C,F,A,D

G (F) 	  	 550033
Bm (Am) 	 X24432
A (G) 	  	 X02220

The walk down is played on the E and A strings while playing the D chord. Starting on the

open E with hammers at the 4th and 2nd frets on the A string with open A string notes in between. I 

use my pinky at the 4th fret A string and then bring up my index finger for the 2nd fret hammer. 

It's a bit tough getting the pinky up there without muting strings. Listen to the track, practice it 

and you'll get it.

D
You know when I'm coming home

You know when I'm coming to bed
G
You know when I tell you that I love you
D
I mean every word I said

D
You know I'm a bit too proud

You know that I know how to pray
G
And you know I won't give this up

Unless I have to give it up
D
You know I won't walk away

A
But baby you're like a diesel truck
       G
You're shifting gears and the pedal's stuck
              Bm
You're headed straight for the edge
                       Em        G
And showing no signs of slowing
                               D
And I don't have the luxury of knowing

D
You know that I like to dance

But only when I'm dancing with you
G
You know I must be bad at lying
                                  D
'Cause I've only ever told you the truth

A
But just when I think you're a hurricane
    G
You freeze right over and all that rain
Bm                                           Em        G
Turns to ice and your whole world just starts snowing
                              D
And I don't have the luxury of knowing

G
Damn it must be easy
        Bm
Being in love with someone so blind
        Em
'Cause I tell you right now the only thing I really know is
    G
That you might change your mind
   Em
Any day you could change your mind

D
But you know when I'm coming home

You know when I'm coming to bed

A
Baby you're like a diesel truck
      G
You're shifting gears and the pedal's stuck
              Bm
You're headed straight for the edge
                       Em         G
And showing no signs of slowing  
                          D  
I don't have the luxury of knowing
