Intro
C# F#/A#
[Verse 1]
C# F#/A#
time capsules live below the earth
C# F#/A#
dig them up again and hope it doesn't hurt
C# F#/A#
under a tree across the lake
C# F#/A#
i think i learned what love was that day
[Chorus 1]
D#m G#
and i'll trace it on a canvas
A#m G#
even if i can't look at it yet
F# A#m
and i swear i'll paint it green
F# A#m
it was the prettiest day i'd ever seen
F# A#m G#
and the whole world fell asleep but me and you
D#m A#m F#
we were over the moon
C# F#/A#
[Verse 2]
C# F#/A#
hopeless standards behold
C# F#/A#
i still found you the perfect sweater
C# F#/A#
for a room crammed full
C# F#/A#
but you acted like i was the only one there
[Chorus 2]
D#m G#
and i wish i could wear that dress again
A#m G#
but there's no way i could fit in
F# A#m
and i'll remember all that green
F# A#m
you were the prettiest thing i'd ever seen
F# A#m G#
and the whole world fell asleep but me and you
D#m A#m F#
we were over the moon
[Bridge]
F# G#
and will you still wear your tokyo shirt
F#
and now what am i to do with your trophy
G#
that says i'm your best girl
D#m A#m G#
and wars lost the world a couple of good monets
D#m A#m
and i wish i could hold your hand again
G#
but it's made out of clay
[Chorus 3]
F# A#m
and i'll remember all that green
F# A#m
we were pretty sweet for being 17
F# A#m G#
and they handed us a sheet of paper and glue
D#m A#m F#
oh what a masterpiece we drew
[Outro]
C#
hopeless standards behold
F#/A#
under a tree across the lake
C# F#/A#
i think i learned what love was that day
D#m A#m F#
under a tree across the lake
D#m A#m F#
i still found you the perfect sweater
D#m A#m F#
over the moon
