When It Was Ours

	  		

verse 1 

E                  A 
A Daffodil a rusty swing 
         B                    E 
A broken bench where once sat King 
E                          A 
A mouldy doll looks to the stars 
           B                                 E 
And it was mine and it was yours when it was ours 

verse 2 

E                               A 
A withered tree where birds did sing 
         B             E 
A broken song upon the wing 
E                                   A 
Those feathered hearts looked up to mars 
            B                                E 
When it was mine and it was yours and it was ours 


       C#m             G#m 
It was ours when I was yours 
            A 
Before this place went on all fours 
         F#m            B 
Now it's under lock and key 
         E            E7 
it isn't you it isn't me  
           C#m 
It's other couples falling walls 
     A 
It's other couples punctured balls 
               F#m             B 
No wasp filled jars or last hurrahs 
             E 
Now it ain't ours 


verse 3 

E                            A 
The conversation the whisper laugh 
       B                 E 
Is overgrown like garden path 
E                              A 
The twisted branch the crooked stairs 
       B                              E 
It was yours it was mine now it's all theirs 

verse 4 

E                        A 
The bicycle with buckled wheel 
            B                 E 
Lays on the grass like how we feel 
E                         A 
A sparrow dies then Eagle soars 
             B                               E 
Now it's all theirs no longer mine no longer yours 


       C#m             G#m 
It was ours when I was yours 
            A 
Before this place went on all fours 
         F#m            B 
Now it's under lock and key 
         E            E7 
it isn't you it isn't me  
           C#m 
It's other couples falling walls 
     A 
It's other couples punctured balls 
               F#m             B 
No wasp filled jars or last hurrahs 
             E 
Now it ain't ours 


Verse  3 

E                           A 
Revisit graveyards pubs and clubs 
             B                     E 
But don't go back to the place you love 
E                              A 
They quickly return to distant shores 
                 B                             E 
When they're not ours no longer mine no longer yours 

 

       C#m             G#m 
It was ours when I was yours 
            A 
Before this place went on all fours 
         F#m            B 
Now it's under lock and key 
         E            E7 
it isn't you it isn't me   
           C#m 
It's other couples falling walls 
     A 
It's other couples punctured balls 
               F#m             B 
No wasp filled jars or last hurrahs 
             E 
Now it ain't ours
