D                  C
The summer before you
    Em               D
I thought love was Shakespearean
                       C
More or less a painful experience
 Em                       D
Only ever real if you're delirious
                   C
The summer before you
   Em                       D
I let it take a very little oxygen
                                      C
Nowhere I'd rest my head, more like a ottomon
      Em                             D
Never had someone like you to treat me like Solomon

Chorus:
                  C
But little did I know
          Em               D
You would be the one I confide in
Learn how to try with
               C
Little did I know
        Em                  D
It was you before I ever decided

           C    G        D
Oh-oh-oh, little did I know
           C    G        D
Oh-oh-oh, little did I know

The summer before you
You can't spell "drama" without consonance
And I admit, I usually was the cause of it
Now here we are, you've got me changing all of it
Slow me down, I want you to
It's different when it comes to you
Hey, yeah

Chorus:
But little did I know
You would be the one I'd confide in
Learn how to try with
Little did I know
It was you before I ever decided
Yeah, little did I know
You would be the one that would save me
Learn how to change me
Little did I know
Oh-oh-oh, just look at you, can you blame me?

Oh-oh-oh, little did I know
Oh-oh-oh, little did I know

                   C
The summer before you
Em                   D
I thought love was Shakespearean
                       C
More or less a painful experience
Em                          D
Only ever real if you're delirious

Chorus:
But little did I know
You would be the one I'd confide in
Learn how to try with
Little did I know
It was you before I ever decided
Yeah, little did I know
You would be the one that would save me
Learn how to change me
Little did I know
Oh-oh-oh, just look at you, can you blame me?

Oh-oh-oh, little (Yeah) did I know (Did I know)
Oh-oh-oh (Oh), little did I know (Did I know)
Oh-oh-oh, little did I know that it could feel like this (Yeah)
Oh-oh-oh, little, every time I got you on my lips (Hey)
The summer before you
