      D
You brought them to my door, stood there on the front porch
G
That was the beginning, we had those tires spinning
              A
Down on the green grass, outside of town,
wild and free, never slowing down
Bm
I thought I needed you like air,
    G
we burned hot burned out like a flame
    A
But in my head, you’ll never fade

Chorus:
                D
Yeah, we were classic, my dress,
your leather jacket
                         G
Didn’t know how good we had it,
but, boy, we had it
  A
14th of February, kinda feeling
 my heart still carries,
                 Bm
Yeah, we didn’t know it,
thought we could grow it,
                                 D              G
Beautiful for a moment, we were roses, we were roses

You put one in my hair
We danced in the middle of nowhere
You and me all summer
Bright and living color
My lips were red
Your eyes were blue
And I thought I saw forever in you

Chorus:
Yeah, we were classic
My dress, your leather jacket
Didn’t know how good we had it
But, boy, we had it
14th of February,
gotta feeling my heart still carries
Eh, we didn’t know it
Thought we could grow it
Beautiful for a moment
We were roses

     G
But seasons had to change
        A
Like flowers we bloomed and withered away

Chorus:
Yeah, we were classic
My dress, your leather jacket
Didn’t know how good we had it
It was so good while it lasted

We were classic
My dress, your leather jacket
Didn’t know how good we had it
But, boy, we had it
14th of February, gotta feeling my heart still carries
Yeah, we didn’t know it
Thought we could grow it
Beautiful for a moment
We were roses

We were beautiful for a moment, baby
We were roses
We were beautiful for a moment, baby
We didn’t know it
Thought we could grow it
Beautiful for a moment
We were roses
