Intro: : F5 (Pause)  C5 (Pause) :


VERSE 1


F5
            C5                                          F5
There's the river, there's the house, and there's the church.
                     C5
And there's us years ago.
F5             C5                               F5
 Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
                     C5
Is where we hide ourselves.


PRE-CHORUS


Bb5                             C5
Yes we were just kids, but you couldn't tell us that.
      Bb5
These are the garden rules,
       C5
That's what you always said.


CHORUS
  
           Bb5
Oh, you will never know,
           C5
How much I love you so,
             Bb5   
Oh, you will never know,
           C5
How much I love you.


VERSE 2


You would call the garden rules out like commands,
And we would all obey.
But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke,
And puncture the pretend.

PRE-CHORUS

And we would chase our tails until the sun forgot to shine.
And our parents called our names,
Until just you and I were left.

CHORUS

Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you so,
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you.


BRIDGE

          F5
From your house we walk the river, 
       C5
to the church by the silent fields,
            F5
Amongst the lavender of headstones,
        C5
And the larks in our Sunday clothes.
     Bb5                          C5
Your father comes to you as he's looking at his watch,
                    Bb5                              C5
You leave me with a kiss on my quickly heating cheek.

CHORUS

Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you so.
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you.
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you so,
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you.
