Verse 1:

Am        Dm/F     Am
We meet inside the café
           G               Am
The air is thick like hospital
              Dm/F         Am
Choked by the gold on your finger
        G
We were lovers

Verse 1b:


Am       Dm/F                Am
Bury the thoughts that resurface
                 G
Those hands were mine


Chorus:

Am
And now our love has been forgotten
F
Like it was never there
Am                           F
We're just sitting here like strangers
    Am                    F
You gave me yourself for just a little while
           Am                 F     Am
But it was you, it was really you


Verse 2:

Am           Dm/F
Staring into my coffee
Am        G                     Am
It is not black just a shade of brown
              Dm/F         Am
Too scared to let our eyes meet
             G
What will we see?


Chorus 2:

Am
And now our love has been forgotten
F
Like it was never there
Am                           F
We're just sitting here like strangers
    Am                    F
You gave me yourself for just a little while
           Am                 F
But it was you, it was really you

Am
And now our love has been forgotten

We're just sitting here like strangers
    Am                    F
You gave me yourself for just a little while
           Am                 F     G
But it was you, it was really you


Verse 2:

Am           Dm/F
The space between us
Am          G
Will not be beat
Am         Dm/F
Oceans and past lives
Am        G   Am
We were lovers
