[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.
[Chorus]
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.
C, G, F
[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.
[Chorus]
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.
