Dustin Kensrue - I knew you before

^DmYou were once a sweet little girl, ^{F C}So innocent and pure, ^{G Dm}Your eyes were open and sure- anyone c^Fould look ^Dmright in. ^{Dm Dm}And while look closely- you gaze, ^{F C}You looked up towards the sky, ^{G Dm}but i watched your face drift away as ^Fthe things ^Dmcaught your eye. ^Dm

T^Dmhe magazines and media supplied you with their best protocol, ^DmAnd maybe music television really is the devil after all. ^Dm

But^Dm all i can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then, ^DmBefore you grew up, ^{E7 E7}Before you gave in.. ^Dm

^DmYou dream of sharing your heart, Instead^F you s^Chare your bed, ^G Dm F Dm An^Dmd your heart beats empty and cold with all the tears you have shed. ^DmAnd you dream of bearing your soul, ^{F C}Instead you bare more skin, ^{G Dm}And you wear dark glasses to keep anyone from l^Fookin^Dmg in. ^Dm
