Capo 2nd Fret



D                     A
She stepped off the airplane

    G                         D
And we drove straight to my house

                       A
An hour later we were lying in bed

  G                 D
laughing right out loud

G                    D
We talked about the old times

     G              D
and we made love again

Bm                          A                   G
It'd been so long since my fingers touched her skin


G                   D
And we were so in love back then

     G               D
Why didn't we work out

 Bm
Hell, I don't know

    A                      G
It don't make sense to me now

              D
And she said tell me you love me

    A
I love you

D
She said say it again

     A
Oh honey I do

      D
Then Say like you mean it

                    A              G
Like it's in your heart and you believe it

                           A
I'm needing to believe it too


Chorus

G                         D
I loved you when we were innocent

G                          D
I loved you when we were young

    Bm                                  G
I loved you when I was working on the beaches in the sun

   G                 D
I loved you in that run down flat

     G          D
We rented overseas

   Bm               A             G
I love you now so powerfully it brings me to my knees

      Bm                     A                   G
And tonight when your hair falls down around my face

D   A    G
I love you


Verse 2

 D                 A
She got up for a drink

         G                D
Walked naked across the floor

                             A
Looked back at me with that playful smile

    G              D
I wanted her once more

G                            D
She poured the wine and we drank it

G                          D
She laid back down on the bed

           Bm                       A
Then she curled up against me and said if you want me

        G
You're gonna have to tell me again        I said...


Chorus


 G                        D
And the next day at the airport

G            D
I held her close

        Bm        A               G
and I hated like hell to let her go

 D            A           G
but as I did, I quietly said



Chorus (3)

G                          D
I loved you when we were breaking up


 G                          D
When the truth was hard to see

   Bm              A                    G
I love you now so powerfully it still brings me to my knees

           Bm                   A                  G
and last night when your hair fell down around my face

D   A   G
I love you




Hope this is close.  If anyone can improve it, I'll look forward to seeing it
