Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Silently  we were friends
 Guarding our country from traitors and new trends
 You were at the borders
 I am at the beaches
 I remember exactly what the enemy teaches
 Like presidents and pilots
 We turned a blind eye
 To letters over our heads
 Floating in the sky
 Those were the paper animals
 Signalling danger
 They are evolving
 And the world is a stranger
 No currency to drive us crazy
 no vehicles would drive us and make us lazy
 ah ah to make us lazy
 ah ah i wont lie
Only time  I fall
 Is when I feel
 Only time they notice
  G I dissapear
 And I can't go back
 Without a counter attack
 And I can't turn around
 It's my mothers pride
 My mothers pride
 So I'm close to somewhere else
 But we're not going there
 We scan the forest floors
 Looking worse for wear
 For a life outside of ours
 Cos we are too shallow
 And to brave to hide our scars
 And step in ones shelter
 I am protective over you
 And the stories re-enact
 Getting word from the smallest of contact
 No currency to drive us crazy
 no vehicles to drive us and make us stay
 oh oh oh oh ah ah
 Only time I fall
 Is when I feel
 Only time they notice
 I dissapear
 And I see her
 When I see her
 When I see her everyday
 wahoo oh oh
 Only time I fall
 Is when I feel
 Only time they notice
 I dissapear
 And I see her
 When I see her
 When I see her every .. day.

Readable chord sheet for We Were Friends by Ellie Goulding

[Am]Sil[G]ently we were friends
Guarding our country from traitors and new trends
You were at the borders
I am at the beaches
I remember exactly what the enemy teaches
Like presidents and pilots
We turned a blind eye
To letters over our heads
Floating in the sky

Those were the paper animals
Signalling danger
They are evolving
And the world is a stranger
No currency to drive us crazy
no vehicles would drive us and make us lazy
ah ah to make us lazy
ah ah i wont lie

[Am]Onl[E]y [G]time I fall
Is when I feel
Only time they notice

 G  I dissapear

And I can't go back
Without a counter attack
And I can't turn around

It's my mothers pride
My mothers pride

So I'm close to somewhere else
But we're not going there
We scan the forest floors
Looking worse for wear

For a life outside of ours
Cos we are too shallow
And to brave to hide our scars
And step in ones shelter

I am protective over you
And the stories re-enact
Getting word from the smallest of contact

No currency to drive us crazy
no vehicles to drive us and make us stay
oh oh oh oh ah ah

Only time I fall
Is when I feel
Only time they notice
I dissapear
And I see her
When I see her
When I see her everyday

wahoo oh oh

Only time I fall
Is when I feel
Only time they notice
I dissapear
And I see her
When I see her
When I see her every .. day.
