We Were Lovers Then Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][Gsus4][C][Gsus4][C][Gsus4][C]
[Gsus4]Once our sandb[C]ox was a desert,
and our world still had a wall.
[F]We almost broke a w[Am]indow
every [Dm]time we threw a [F]ball.
And [G]our oak tree was a [Gsus4]jungle,
[C]and your teddy bear was ten.
Makes [Gsus4]you wonder
when you think of it,
for [F]we were lovers [Em]then[Gsus4]
And I [C]pushed you up a mountain
till you almost reached the sky
[F]Then I dropped you
[Am]on your daydream,
broke [Dm]your heart and made you [F]cry
[G]Then I turned you round [Gsus4]in circles
till [C]you fell in love again
Makes [Gsus4]you wonder
when you think of it,
for we were lovers [C]then
We [Gm]were lovers
when the world grew up around us
Found us [Dm]looking for a place
to lay our [Gsus4]heads
[G]Yes, we [C]were lovers
when the [E]world grew up and found us
And we [Am]stopped to look around us
And your teddy bear was [D]dead[Dm]
And we [G]were lovers [C]then
Watching the clowns
at the out [Cm]-of -town circuses
[Bb]We lived our lives with no strings
and no purposes
Running [Am]through meadows
before they were houses [Dm]or homes
All [G]alone and in [C]love
[Gsus4]Look, their san[C]dbox is a desert
And their world still has a wall
[F]And he's gonna bre[Am]ak a window
[Dm]If our Harry throws th[F]at ball
[G]See how much he [Gsus4]loves his Susie
[C]Even though there are only ten,
[Dm]makes you wonder when you think of it
[F]For we were lov[C]ers [Gm]then[Dm]
[G][C][E]
[Am][D][Gm]
[Dm][G]
You
