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]
Dm G
and i'll trace it on a canvas
Am G
even if i can't look at it yet
F Am
and i swear i'll paint it green
F Am
it was the prettiest day i'd ever seen
F Am G
and the whole world fell asleep but me and you
Dm Am 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]
Dm G
and i wish i could wear that dress again
Am G
but there's no way i could fit in
F Am
and i'll remember all that green
F Am
you were the prettiest thing i'd ever seen
F Am G
and the whole world fell asleep but me and you
Dm Am 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
Dm Am G
and wars lost the world a couple of good monets
Dm Am
and i wish i could hold your hand again
G
but it's made out of clay
[Chorus 3]
F Am
and i'll remember all that green
F Am
we were pretty sweet for being 17
F Am G
and they handed us a sheet of paper and glue
Dm Am 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
Dm Am F
under a tree across the lake
Dm Am F
i still found you the perfect sweater
Dm Am F
over the moon
