Who Were We

this is a beautiful song , and you can hear it for comparison here : i Am pretty sure that if these chords aren’t totally correct then they do at least sound so close that it doesn’t matter ( so long as you play them as they’re notated below ) . similarly the lyrics are kind of hard to make out , so a couple of lines might be nonsense . sorry about that . enjoy the song .
