A5            F#5                A5
     It was the shortest day of autumn
               F#5              A5
     Until the moment that I caught on
           F#5                B5
     That I might still be forgotten


A5            F#5               A5
     I was so scared to try to kiss you
              F#5              A5
     Now we'd scarcely find an issue
              F#5              B5
     But you're barely finding it used

                  C#5
    Oh, it's not fair
             D5                    C#5
    That your love should move so slow
             D5                    C#5
    Like the faintest starlights glow
             D5                   B5
    Which moves swiftly, oh, I know
                                   A5
    It's just got, oh, so far to go

F#5   A5    F#5

 
A5       F#5                A5
    So I sent some glances to her
        F#5                        A5
    But they missed or went right through her
         F#5                       B5
    Though I couldn't have aimed truer

                  C#5          D5                      C#5
    And it's not fair that your love should strike so weak
             D5                 C#5
    And our affections feel so meek
         D5                   B5
    And our future seems so bleak
                                 A5
    And oh, we've got so far to go

           F#5            A5    
    We're not ever coming home
           F#5            A5
    We're not ever coming home

       (to the end)
