IntroEmVerse 1EmCGD
You were once a sweet little girl, So innocent and pure,
EmCAmEm
Your eyes were open and sure anyone could look right in.
EmCGD
And while look closely you gaze, You looked up towards the sky,
EmCAmEm
but I watched your face drift away as the things caught your eye.
ChorusAmEm
The magazines and media supplied you with their best protocol,
AmEm
And maybe music television really is the devil after all.
GG7CEmAm
But all I can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then,
EmB7B7Em
Before you grew up, Before you gave in..
Verse 2EmCGD
You dream of sharing your heart, Instead you share your bed,
EmCAmEm
And your heart beats empty and cold with all the tears you have shed.
EmCGD
And you dream of bearing your soul, Instead you bare more skin,
EmCAmEm
And you wear dark glasses to keep anyone from looking in.
BridgeBmCDEm
And all you want is to hear the words "Dear baby I love you"
BmCDEm
So you hike your skirt higher still 'Till there eyes are all on you
DmAm
You drive in fast foreign cars the color of your sin
DmDG
And you tint your windows to keep anyone from looking in
ChorusCC7FAmDm
But all I can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then,
AmE7E7Am
Before you grew up, Before you gave in..
CC7FAmDm
But all I can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then,
AmE7Am
You could be beautiful again
