I Knew You Before Dustin Kensrue
[Em]You were once a sweet little [C]girl, So [G]innocent and [D]pure,
[Em]Your eyes were open and s[C]ure any[Am]one could look right [Em]in.
[Em]And while look closely you [C]gaze, Y[G]ou looked up towards the [D]sky,
[Em]but I watched your face drift a[C]way as the [Am]things caught your[Em] eye.
[Am]The magazines and media supplied you with their best protoc[Em]ol,
[Am]And maybe music television really is the devil after [Em]all.
[G]But all I can say is I k[G7]new you before you were [C]beautiful [Em]back [Am]then,
[Em]Before you grew u[B7]p, [B7]Before you gave [Em]in..
[Em]You dream of sharing your h[C]eart, [G]Instead you share your [D]bed,
[Em]And your heart beats empty and c[C]old with [Am]all the tears you have[Em] shed.
[Em]And you dream of bearing your s[C]oul, [G]Instead you bare more [D]skin,
[Em]And you wear dark glasses to k[C]eep an[Am]yone from looking [Em]in.
And all you [Bm]want is to hear the [C]words "Dear baby [D]I love [Em]you"
So you [Bm]hike your skirt higher [C]still 'Till there eyes are [D]all on [Em]you
You [Dm]drive in fast foreign cars the [Am]color of your sin
And you [Dm]tint your windows to keep any[D]one from looking [G]in
[C]But all I can say is I k[C7]new you before you were [F]beautiful [Am]back [Dm]then,
[Am]Before you grew u[E7]p, [E7]Before you gave [Am]in..
[C]But all I can say is I k[C7]new you before you were [F]beautiful [Am]back [Dm]then,
[Am]You could be beau[E7]tiful [Am]again
