Dustin Kensrue - I knew you before

^EmYou were once a sweet little ^Cgirl, so ^Ginnocent and ^Dpure, ^EmYour eyes were open and s^Cure, any^Amone could look right ^Emin. ^EmAs I followed closely your ^Cgaze, you ^Glooked up towards the s^Dky, ^EmAnd I watched your face drift a^Cway, other ^Amthings had caught yo^Emur eye.

Oh, the ^Ammagazines and media supplied you with their plastic proto^Emcol, Oh, and ^Ammaybe music television really is the devil after ^Emall.

^GBut all I can say is I k^G7new you before you were ^Cbeautiful ^Emback ^Amthen, ^EmBefore you grew u^B7p, ^B7Before you gave ^Emin.

^EmYou dream of sharing your h^Ceart, ^Ginstead you share your ^Dbed, ^EmAnd your heart beats empty and c^Cold with ^Amall the tears you have^Em shed. ^EmAnd you dream of baring your s^Coul, ^Ginstead you bare more ^Dskin, ^EmAnd you wear dark glasses to k^Ceep an^Amyone from looking ^Emin.

^AmOh, the magazines and media supplied you with their plast^Emic protocol, Oh, and ^Ammaybe music television really is the devil after ^Emall.

^GBut all I can say is I k^G7new you before you were ^Cbeautiful ^Emback ^Amthen, ^EmBefore you grew u^B7p, ^B7Before you gave ^Emin.

And all you ^Bmwant is to hear the ^Cwords "Dear baby ^DI love ^Emyou" So you ^Bmhike your skirt higher ^Cstill till their eyes are ^Dall on ^Emyou. You ^Dmdrive in fast foreign cars the ^Amcolor of your sin, And you ^Dmtint your windows to keep any^Done from looking ^Gin.

^CBut all I can say is I k^C7new you before you were ^Fbeautiful ^Amback ^Dmthen, ^AmBefore you grew u^E7p, ^E7Before you gave ^Amin. ^CBut all I can say is I k^C7new you before you were ^Fbeautiful ^Amback ^Dmthen, ^AmYou could be beau^E7tiful ^Amagain.
