F  F/E  Bb  F

                F/E
in the summer that you came
           Bb              F
there was something eating everyone
 F                F/E
and the sunshine fund was low
              Bb
we couldn't greet you
        F
with a simple hello
                 F/E
and the watchers of the flood
      Bb             F
were busy in their chambers
                   F/E
making sure there was new blood
       Bb         F
to sustain their dying veins

         
but i believed you
    C             
no need for further questioning
Bb    
i'm gonna leave with you
         F
you can teach me all you know
which way will we go now
         C
on our trip to taller windows
          Bb
i really don't know now
          F
i really don't know

                F/E
in the winter that you left
           Bb
there was business as usual
                   F
with the same old fears and frustrations
but the word got out
it was really such a pity
         F/E
but the judges and the saints
and the textbook committee
   Bb
decided you should be left out
          F
not even mentioned

but i believed you
    C             
no need for further questioning
Bb    
i'm gonna leave with you
         F
you can teach me all you know
which way will we go now
        C
on our trip to taller windows
          Bb
i really don't know now
          F
i really don't know
