Verse 1:
F
Running from the suburbs
                       A
Skipping heartbeats
Bb                             Am
Living by our own front teeth
       F
Put my faith into a number
                         A
And push the odds aside
Bb
We swore we'd make it out alive
        Bb
But you lied

Pre-Chorus 1:
       C                  Gm
An old dream still haunts me
         F      Dm
a time machine

Chorus:
Bb          Bb
 I knew you then
F                  C               A
 Ripped jeans in a playground of cement
            Bb
 I knew you then
F                    C                 A
 Gold rings, but you never could commit

Interlude -x2-: F Dm A Bb

Verse 2:
               F                                         A
I heard you're living somewhere upstate with a new life
        Bb                            Am
Is that really what you had in mind?
    F                                              A
But I don't wanna let go, and watch it all unfold
  Bb
I couldn't if I even tried, and I tried

Pre-Chorus 2:
         C           Gm
You left me stuck sixteen
                  F     Dm
Without a time machine

Chorus:
Bb          Bb
 I knew you then
F                  C               A
 Ripped jeans in a playground of cement
            Bb
 I knew you then
F                    C                 A
 Gold rings, but you never could commit
           Bb F C A           Gm F C
I knew you then,   I knew you then

Bridge:
           Bb  C            Gm  C

Chorus:
-nc-        Bb
 I knew you then
F                  C               A
 Ripped jeans in a playground of cement
            Bb
 I knew you then
F                    C                 A
 Gold rings, but you never could commit
           Dm A Bb           Dm A Bb
I knew you then,  I knew you then
