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.
