Start Jamming...
You were [G] once a sweet [C] little girl, [G] so innocent [D] and pure.
[E] Your [G] eyes were [C] open and sure and warm to [Em] look right in.
I [G] followed close [C] to your gaze, [G] you looked up towards [D] the sky.
[Em] But I [G] watched your face [C] drift away, the other day [Em] we passed your ride.
[Am] All the magazines and media supplied you with their past [Em] protocol.
[Am] All the major news and television media gives to tell the [Em] life and wrong.
[G] But all I can say [Gm] is I knew you, all [C] you needed from [Am] back then.
[Em] Before [B] you grew up, before you came [Em] in.
You [G] dream of sharing [C] your heart, [G] it's that you share [D] your bed.
[E] Now your [G] heart beats [C] empty and cold, but all the tears [Em] you shed.
[Em] You [G] dream of burying [C] your soul, [G] it's that you bury more [D] skin.
[E] You wear dark glasses [C] to keep anyone from [Em] looking in.
All [Am] the magazines and media supplied you with their past [Em] protocol.
All [Am] the major news and television media gives to tell the life [Em] and wrong.
[Em]
[G] But all I can say [Gm] is I knew you, all [C] you needed from back [Am] then.
[E] Before you [B] grew up, before you [Em] came in.
All [Bm] you want is to hear [C] the words, dear baby [D] I love [Em] you.
[Bm] To hide your skirt [C] higher still, until the rise of all [Em] on you.
[Dm] And you're driving fast foreign cars, [Am] the color of your skin.
[Dm] You sit your windows to keep [D] anyone from [G] looking in.
[C] But all I can say is I knew you, [F] all you needed from [Em] back [Dm] then.
[B] [Am]
Before you [E] grew up, before you [Am] came in.
[C] And all I can say is I knew you, all [F] you needed from [Dm] back then.
[Am] You could be [E] beautiful [Am] again.
[Dm]
