VERSE 1


F
            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.


CHORUS
  
           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


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

          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.

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.
