Do you remember we traipsed around from pub to pound shop up through Kentish Town
D                                                        D7
Only a fiver to our name, the drunk on the doorstep had more to our shame
       G                                                      D
Living over the offy had its trials the fights all night out there and inside
D
And those stews that lasted three days into four and the dreaded baliffs' 
D7
returned to our door,
Bridge 1:
         C                        Am                  C                     Am
but we stuck with each other with all our might, we pulled it together and held on tight,
         D                                                              D7
And I'm glad for us yeah I'm glad mo chroi but it's nothing to anyone 'cept you and me
Chorus:
C                 G                        C                G
There were wrongs for every right, there's ups and there's downs
     C                  G               D                            D7
But you're the one for all my life, my true love I have found, yeah you my 
           G
love I've found
Verse 2:
G                                                                                
I watched the moon cover the might of the sun, The weird evening light at a 
D
quarter past one, and I knew in my head as you lay in our bed that you?d stay
D                    D7
in my heart til the day I was dead,
    G                                                                D 
We killed each other then loved in time, and laughed til we almost cried,
          D
yeah we cried as well when it all went to hell, And my heart it broke til I 
D7
swear it died
Bridge 2:
         C                        Am                  C                     Am
but we stuck with each other with all our might, we pulled it together and held on tight,
         D                                                              D7
And I'm glad for us yeah I'm glad mo chroi but it's nothing to anyone 'cept you and me

Oh you're good at the things I'm hopeless at and I notice what you ignore
          D
But its when I see you're not perfect for me, its then I love you more and more,
Bridge 3:
         C                        Am                  C                     Am

And I'm glad for us, I'm glad mo chroi but it's nothing to anyone except you and me
