Ever Loved Once Lyrics

great song off the album VII!
guitar chords by joshuaRobot
lyrics by someone else on the internet
intro:
Verse 1:
It was just as I was leaving
Throw some change up on the bar
She caught my eye through the swinging door
She was standing out by my car
I said I thought you moved to the city girl
No I never did find the time
Ive been wasting away at my sisters place
Just north of the county line
Verse 2: //same chords as first, no lyrics for first half
Well I gazed out across the gravel lot
To the road that leads to town
Thinking all the ways that I broke your heart
Yeah, thinking how it all went down
Chorus:
And I said its a strange thing to see you now
Ive been running so long on the same old ground
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right by
you ooooooh ooooooh oooooooh
oooooh ooooooh ooooooh oooooooh
//Bm D A E also works for the first set of "ooohs" (instead of E Bm A E)
//but i like the D to E sound better coming from the end of the chorus
//Those are all of the chords. the rest of the song uses the same progressions
Verse 3:
So we go up to the turnpike
Where the whole world turns to sky
I took her hand, but she drew away
Like a bird getting ready to fly
She said I aint so young, and I met someone
Hes a rock that just wont roll
And I gotta find out, if you only love once
Or does love keeṗ coming to call
Chorus:
Cause its a strange thing to see you now
Ive been running so long on the same old ground
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right by you
Verse 4:
Theres a half built house in the potters field
All the timbers are turned to gray
Theres an old brown dog living on the porch
I seen him just the other day
Well I laid those planks, and I drove those nails
But it never did satisfy
And a man must forfeit all he owns
For a glimpse at the reason why
Chorus:
Its a strange thing to see you now
Ive been running so long on the same old ground
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right
And its a strange thing to see you here
If the world dont mine, yeah you better leave the keys
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right by you
