Dustin Kensrue - I knew you before

^EmYou were once a sweet little girl, ^{C G}So innocent and pure, ^{D Em}Your eyes were open and sure- anyone c^Could look ^Amright in. ^{Em Em}And while look closely- you gaze, ^{C G}You looked up towards the sky, ^{D Em}but i watched your face drift away as ^Cthe things ^Amcaught your eye. ^Em

T^Emhe magazines and media supplied you with their best protocol, ^AmAnd maybe music television really is the devil after all. ^Em

But^Am all i can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then, ^EmBefore you grew up, ^{B7 B7}Before you gave in.. ^Em

^EmYou dream of sharing your heart, Instead^C you s^Ghare your bed, ^D Em C Am An^Emd your heart beats empty and cold with all the tears you have shed. ^EmAnd you dream of bearing your soul, ^{C G}Instead you bare more skin, ^{D Em}And you wear dark glasses to keep anyone from l^Cookin^Amg in. ^Em

^AmThe magazines and media supplied you with their best protocol, ^{Em Am}And maybe music television really is the devil after all. ^Em

But ^Amall i can say is i knew you before you were beautiful back then, ^EmBefore you gave up, ^{B7 B7}Before you gave in.. ^Em

But a^Amll i can say is i knew you before you were beautiful back then, ^EmYou could be beau^B7tiful again... ^Em
