[A] This is one song that
This is the way I wrote it, cos it was this, it was just this.
It was just
[E] Yeah, yeah, of course.
So there's no
That's the original song.
As I wrote it, it was just those notes.
It's just that.
Before you start playing it, can I just ask you,
at the time, would you have known what those notes are?
No.
So it is just trying different positions on the guitar and saying,
yeah, that sounds nice.
[Am] I remember picking up the guitar and doing that straight away.
There was no messing around.
It was just [E] And, er
That seemed really like the next step.
[N] Literally.
Yeah, one down.
And, you know, so for me, it's always been very
I can't
I keep reiterating this,
and I suppose I'm reiterating it to the point of, you know,
people are
It's probably going to diminish the songs for some people,
but, [A] you know, they're simple.
We'll do it [Ab] all
[E] Everything
On [A] our own
We [Ab] don't need
[E] Anything Or [A] anyone
If I lay here
If I [E] just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the [A] world
And don't quite [E] know
How to say
How I feel
[A]
Those three [E] words
Are said too much
They're not [A] enough
If I lay here
If I [E] just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the [A] world
Forget what we had sold
Before we [E] got too old
To show me a garden
That's bursting into [A] life
Let's waste [Ab] time
[E] Chasing [D] cars
Around our [A] heads
I need your [Ab] grace
To remind [D] me
To find my [A] own
If I lay here
If I [Ab] just lay here
Would you [D] lie with me
And just forget the [A] world
Forget what we had sold
Before we got too old
To show me [D] a garden
That's bursting into [A] life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in [D] your perfect eyes
There all I can [A] say
I don't know where
Confused [E] about how as well
Just know [D] that these things
Will never change for us at [A] all
If I lay here
If I [E] just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
[A] [Ab] [N]
