Key: C
Introduction:
C Am E
You said you'd wait at night for me,
C Am E
Near where the swings have always been.
F G
I left my house and made no sound,
C Am
Not a soul was all around.
F G
Soon I saw the streetlights glow,
C Am
Ran towards to say hello,
F G
Everything was in my view,
E7 A7 Dm
Everything and everything but you.
G Dm
Oh, but you
G Dm
Oh, but you
G G# G
Oh, but you
C Am E
I took a left and stole a right
C Am E
Counted my steps on that dark night.
F G
I knew you must be somewhere near
C Am
You'd said you'd meet me here.
F G
Maybe you had lost your way
C Am
In the shadows blue and grey.
F G
Everything was clear and true,
E7 A7 Dm
Everything and everything but you.
G Dm
Oh, but you
G Dm
Oh, but you
G G# G
Oh, but you
C Am E
What could I do? I still had faith.
C Am E
I saw my clock's dishevelled face.
F G
But hours passed and still no sign,
C Am
Days and nights and Summertimes.
F G
I am old but have no fear,
C Am
You said you would meet me here.
F G
Everything is clear and true,
E7 A7 Dm
Everything and everything but you.
G Dm
Oh, but you
G Dm
Oh, but you
G G# G C
Oh, but you
