We Were Friends chords by Ellie Goulding

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

CAPO 4
Standard tuning.

Even tho some chord shapes change to power chords during the chorus,
I guess you could play the "open" ones too.

A minorAm = x02210 (in the verses) / x32210 (in the chorus)
C majorC = x32010 (in the verses) / x35500 (in the chorus)
G+G = 320030
E/G = 322100 (apparently, that's what the chord's called, also found it as A7-5,
        if it's too difficult you could also play a simple E MajorE = 022100)
E minorEm = 022000 (in the verses) / x79980 (in the chorus)
D MajorD = x57700
* = LET IT RING

INTRO:
On A minorAm pick only the A augmentedA string twice fast, then change to C majorC and play immediately:

C majorC G+G A minorAm (x4)

C majorC        G+G    A minorAm
Silently we were friends
             C majorC        G+G    A minorAm
Guarding our country from traitors and new trends
C majorC        G+G
You were at the borders
A minorAm
I am at the beaches
 C majorC      G+G       A minorAm
Examining exactly what the enemy teaches
   C majorC       G+G
Like presidents and pilots
  A minorAm
We turned a blind eye
  C majorC        G+G
To letters over our heads
A minorAm
Floating in the sky
C majorC           G+G
Those were the paper animals
A minorAm
Signalling danger
C majorC       G+G
They are evolving
    Am*
And the world is a stranger

 E/G       A minorAm
No currency to drive us crazy
   E/G            A minorAm
No vehicles would drive us and make us lazy
 E/G    A minorAm
Ahah ahah to make us lazy
 E/G   A minorAm
Ahah ahah ohah

   C majorC
Only time I fall
  E minorEm
Is when I feel
   C majorC
Only time they notice
 E minorEm
I disappear
   C majorC
And I can't go back
     E minorEm
Without a counter attack
   C majorC D*      E minorEm
And I can't turn around

A minorAm       E minorEm
It's my mothers pride
A minorAm     E minorEm
My mothers pride
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm (STOP)

INTRO:
On A minorAm pick only the A augmentedA string twice fast, then change to C majorC and play immediately:

C majorC G+G A minorAm (x2)

    C*         G*
So I'm close to somewhere else
  Am*
But we're not going there
  C majorC        G+G
We scan the forest floors
A minorAm
Looking worse for wear
   C majorC        G+G
For a life outside of ours
    A minorAm
'Cause we are too shallow
    C majorC         G+G
And too brave to hide our scars
  Am*       C majorC G+G
And step in ones shelter
A minorAm
I am protective over you
    C majorC      G+G
And the stories re-enact
A minorAm
Getting word from the smallest of contact

 E/G       A minorAm
No currency to drive us crazy
   E/G            A minorAm
No vehicles would drive us and make us lazy
 E/G    A minorAm
oh oh oh oh ah ah
E/G   A minorAm (STOP)

   C majorC
Only time I fall
  E minorEm
Is when I feel
   C majorC
Only time they notice
 E minorEm
I disappear
    C majorC
When I see her
    E minorEm
When I see her
    C majorC    D*
When I see her every-
E minorEm A minorAm (x4) (STOP)
day


INTRO:
On A minorAm pick only the A augmentedA string twice fast, then change to C majorC and play immediately:

C majorC G+G A minorAm (x2)

   C*
Only time I fall
  Em*
Is when I feel
   C*
Only time they notice
 Em*
I disappear
    C*
When I see her
    Em*
When I see her
    C*   D*
When I see her every-
E minorEm A minorAm (x4) (STOP)
day


ENJOY!!
