Snow Patrol - The Garden Rules: chords

             C
There's the river, there's the house,
                 A#
and there's the church.
                     Gm  A#
And there's us years ago.
              C
Deep in your garden where
                    A#
the nettle met the rose
                     C
Is where we hide ourselves.

A#
Yes we were just kids
         C
But you couldn't tell us that
      A#
These are the garden rules
         C
That's what you always said

Chorus:
              A#
Oh, you will never know,
            C
How much I love you so,
             A#
Oh, you will never know,
            C
How much I love you.

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

Then we would chase our tails
Until the sun forgot to shine
And our parents called our names
'Til just you and I were left

Chorus

From your house we walk the river
To the church by the silent fields
amongst the lavender and headstones
And the larks in our Sunday clothes
Your father calls to you
As he's looking at his watch
You leave me with a kiss
On my quickly heating cheek

Chorus
