Chords

[INTRO:] G C G Em D G [VERSE 1:]
                     C                      G
I remember when best friends were jealous lovers

            C                 D          G
Lying warm asleep beneath the covers

              C               G
Dreaming of belonging to each other
[CHORUS:]
          C                G
And so we tried, never too close

          D              G
Never too near, dying in time

          C                    G
And so we cried, but that is alright

                D
We meant no one no harm
[VERSE 2:]
    G                C                   G
I remember when best friends were not mistaken

                 C              D         G
Long before that freedom was forsaken

                            C                           G
Learning about all the good things in the world worth believing
[CHORUS:]
          C                G
And so we tried, never too close

          D              G
Never too near, dying in time

          C                    G
And so we cried, but that is alright

                D
We meant no one no harm
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G C G Em D G [VERSE 3:]
                        C                    G
I remember when jealous lovers would stick together

                   C                        D         G
When the days were warm and the nights more tender

                  C                      G
When the bonds of truth were not made to measure
[CHORUS:]
          C                G
And so we tried, never too close

          D              G
Never too near, dying in time

          C                    G
And so we cried, but that is alright

                D
We meant no one no harm
[CHORUS:]
C               G
Try, try as you will

          D               G
Following dreams never fulfilled

          C                    G
And so we cried, but that is alright

                D
We meant no one no harm
