A            F#m                A
     It was the shortest day of autumn
               F#m              A
     Until the moment that I caught on
           F#m                Bm
     That I might still be forgotten


A            F#m               A
     I was so scared to try to kiss you
              F#m              A
     Now we'd scarcely find an issue
              F#m              Bm
     But you're barely finding it used

                  C#m
    Oh, it's not fair
             D                    C#m
    That your love should move so slow
             D                    C#m
    Like the faintest starlights glow
             D                   Bm
    Which moves swiftly, oh, I know
                                   A
    It's just got, oh, so far to go

F#m   A    F#m

 
A       F#m                A
    So I sent some glances to her
        F#m                        A
    But they missed or went right through her
         F#m                       Bm
    Though I couldn't have aimed truer

                  C#m          D                      C#m
    And it's not fair that your love should strike so weak
             D                 C#m
    And our affections feel so meek
         D                   Bm
    And our future seems so bleak
                                 A
    And oh, we've got so far to go

           F#m            A    
    We're not ever coming home
           F#m            A
    We're not ever coming home

       (to the end)
