Intro

E  C#m  E 



              E                    C#m     
Before I knew your name, I was not blistered or burned
            A                      B
I gave love everything, before you had it returned
                   E              C#m
Before I knew your name, I had my pride intact
               A                         B 
But you set my heart on fire, before you gave it back


               A                   E
So I'm gonna rewind to a place and time
             C#m              A
To the man I was, before your love
           B
Wrecked my heart, and my soul, and my mind
                   A    F#m                    E
Before I knew your name,    before I knew your name

                  E
Ain't no drink or drug
                    C#m
That's gonna get me there
                    A                        F#m
I've been down that road, your still just as gone
          B
After the fog has cleared

             A                     E
So I'm gonna rewind to a place and time
             C#m              A
To the man I was, before your love
           B
Wrecked my heart, and my soul, and my mind
                   A    F#m                    E
Before I knew your name,    before I knew your name

      C#m                
Is it somewhere south of Austin ?
B
Hiding in St. Paul
       Asus2
In the deserts east of L.A.
      F#m
Hell, I might try them all

             A                     E
Somewhere to rewind to a place and time
             C#m              A
To the man I was, before your love
           B
Wrecked my heart, and my soul, and my mind
                   A    F#m                     E
Before I knew your name,     before I knew your name
                   A    F#m                     E
Before I knew your name,     before I knew your name
