[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

[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
