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.
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.
etc. etc. etc.
