We Were Friends chords by Ellie Goulding (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.

Am = x02210 (in the verses) / x32210 (in the chorus)
C = x32010 (in the verses) / x35500 (in the chorus)
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 = 022100)
Em = 022000 (in the verses) / x79980 (in the chorus)
D = x57700
* = LET IT RING

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

C G Am (x4)

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

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

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

Am              Em
It's my mothers pride
Am         Em
My mothers pride
Am Em Am (STOP)

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

C G Am (x2)

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


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

     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-
Em Am (x4) (STOP)
day


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

C G Am (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-
Em Am (x4) (STOP)
day



ENJOY!!
