tuning: half step down 
with a 3:4 beat 

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
