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