VERSE 1

                         C                                                                                   F 
There's the river, there's the house, and there's the church.
                                           C 
And there's us years ago.
 F                         C                                                             F 
  Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
                                           C 
Is where we hide ourselves.
PRE-CHORUS
 Bb                                                         C 
Yes we were just kids, but you couldn't tell us that.
             Bb 
These are the garden rules,
               C 
That's what you always said.
                       Bb 
Oh, you will never know,
                       C 
How much I love you so,
                           Bb 
Oh, you will never know,
                       C 
How much I love you.
VERSE 2
                     F 
From your house we walk the river,
               C 
to the church by the silent fields,
                         F 
Amongst the lavender of headstones,
                 C 
And the larks in our Sunday clothes.
           Bb                                                   C 
Your father comes to you as he's looking at his watch,
                                         Bb                                                           C 
You leave me with a kiss on my quickly heating cheek.
