Gm          F/A
We were sixteen but I have
A#/D             D#
Known you since second grade
Gm            F/A
We were best friends but I have
A#/D           D#
Wanted you in different ways

We would pass notes in science
And I would end 'em with a heart
We would pass the extra time in
The back of my beat-up car

Chorus:
Gm          F/A
It was love
A#               D#
I know you know that
Gm      F/A
It was us
A#                 D#
I wish I could go back
     Gm               F/A
To sneaking around at night
      A#                       D#
And thinking we had our whole lives
Gm         F/A
It was love
A#               D#
I know you know that

I don't think I ever told you
I hated that it had to end
But it was two months until you
Started dating my best friend
Never mind, this is stupid
But I just have to say
Even though I know you're married
I think about you every day

Chorus - x2

It was love
It was us
It was love
It was us
Sneaking around at night
And thinking we had our whole lives
It was love
I know you know that
