[Vers 1]
CShe stepped off the Gairplane,
And Fwe drove straight to my Chouse.
CAn hour later we were Glyin in bed,
And Flaughin right out lCoud.
We Ftalked about the Gold times
And Cwe made love Fagain.
CIt'd been so Cmaj7/Elong,
Since Fmy fingers touched her Gskin.
[Vers 2]
If AmWe were so in lGove back then.
Why Fdidn't we work Cout?
Well AmI don't know,
It dGon't make sense to me Fnow.
[Vers 3]
She said Amtell me you love me.
FI love you.
She said Amsay it again.
Ooh hFoney I do.
Then Amsay it like you mean it,
Like it's Emin your heart and you believe iFt.
I'm needing to believe it Gtoo.
[Chorus]
I Floved you when we were Cinnocent.
And I lFoved you when we were yCoung.
I lAmoved you when I was working on the Fbeach chairs in the sun.
I lFoved you in that rCundown flat we Frented overCseas.
And I lAmove you now so powerful
It bFrings me to my knees.
And in the Amnight when your hair Gfalls down aFround my face.
    C  Cmaj7/EI        Flove you.
C Cmaj7/E F
[Vers 4]
CShe got up for a Gdrink
walked Fnaked across the fCloor.
CLooked back at me with tGhat playful smile
And FI wanted her once mCore.
Then Amshe poured the wine and we Fdrank it
And wAme laid back down on the Fbed.
Then she Amcurled up against me
And Emsaid if you want me you'lFl have to tell me Gagain.
[Chorus]
I said FI loved you when we werCe innocent.
And I lFoved you when we were yCoung.
And I lAmoved you when I was working hard on Fthe beach chairs in the sun.
I lFoved you in that rCundown flat we Frented overCseas.
And I lAmove you now so powerful
It bFrings me to my knees.
In the Amnight when your hair Gfalls down around Fmy face.
    C  Cmaj7/EI        Flove you.
[Bridge]
Then the Fnext day at the Gairport
I held hAmer close and I
FHated like hell to let heGr go.
But as I Dmdid, I quietly saGid.
[Outro]
I Floved you when we were bCreakin up
When the Ftruth was hard to Csee.
I lAmove you now so powerful
It still Fbrings me to my knees
Last Amnight when your hair Gfell down arFound my face.
    C  Cmaj7/EI        Floved you.
