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

A# C
yes we were just kids , 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 .

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 .
A# C
your father comes to you as he’s looking at his watch ,
A# 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 .
