Vers 1 
C                   G 
She stepped off the airplane, 
    F                       C 
And we drove straight to my house. 
C                     G 
An hour later we were lyin in bed, 
    F                  C 
And laughin right out loud. 
   F                G 
We talked about the old times 
    C            F 
And we made love again. 
C            Em* 
It'd been so long, 
      F                      G 
Since my fingers touched her skin. 


Vers 2 
Am             G 
We were so in love back then. 
    F              C 
Why didn't we work out? 
     Am 
Well I don't know, 
    G                     F 
It don't make sense to me now. 


Vers 3 
         Am 
She said tell me you love me. 
F 
I love you. 
         Am 
She said say it again. 
     F 
Well honey I do. 
     Am 
Then say it like you mean it, 
          F 
Like it's in your heart and you believe it. 
                          G 
I'm needing to believe it too. 


 
       F                      C 
Well I loved you when we were innocent. 
       F                      C 
And I loved you when we were young. 
       Am                                 F 
And I loved you when I was working on the beaches in the sun. 
   F                 C              F          C 
I loved you in that rundown flat we rented overseas. 
       Am 
And I love you now so powerful 
    F 
It brings me to my knees. 
           Am                   G                 F 
And in the night when your hair falls down around my face. 
C   G     F 
      I love you.

Vers 4} 
C                   G 
Well she got up for a drink 
    F                       C 
And walked naked across the floor. 
C                     G 
Looking back at me with her playful smile 
    F                  C 
And I wanted her once more. 
     Am                        F 
Then she poured the wine and we drank it 
     Am                      F 
And we laid back down on the bed. 
         Am 
Then she curled up against me 
    Em                       F                 G 
And said if you want me you'll have to tell me again. 



       F                      C 
Well I loved you when we were innocent. 
       F                      C 
And I loved you when we were young. 
       Am                                 F 
And I loved you when I was working hard on the beaches in the sun. 
   F                 C              F          C 
I loved you in that rundown flat we rented overseas. 
       Am 
And I love you now so powerful 
    F 
It brings me to my knees. 
           Am                   G                 F 
And in the night when your hair falls down around my face. 
C   G     F 
      I love you. 


Bridge 
        F                G 
Then the next day at the airport 
        Am 
I held her close and 
F                        G 
Hated like hell to let her go. 
F                        G 
But as I did, I quietly said. 


Outro 
  F                       C 
I loved you when we were breakin up 
         F                 C 
When the truth was hard to see. 
   Am 
I love you now so powerful 
         F 
It still brings me to my knees 
     Am                   G           F 
Last night when your hair fell down around my face. 
C   G     F 
    I loved you.
