Dm              Am
1997 Livid Festival
Dm      Am             C
Me and Sarah my best friend
Dm              C
Stripy tights and fairy wings
Gm
As safe as safe can be
Bb                      Dm
We drank the gin we'd snuck in
Am              Dm
Danced to Ben Folds Five
Am              C
I turned around to Sarah
Dm              C
Couldn't see her anywhere
Gm              Bb     Bb/C
As safe as safe can be

Dm      Am     Gm     Bb
Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down
C                       Dm     Am
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Gm              Bb
Why didn't you scream?

C               Dm
I went to all the stages
Am                      Dm
And to the St John's stand
Am                              C
The man said 'you just missed her
Dm                      C
Stay - maybe she'll come back again'
Gm              Bb
I sat and watched the crowds
Dm
My father came at midnight
Am                      Dm
We searched til half-past four
Am              C
I was half hysterical
Dm              C
My father wasn't sure
Gm              Bb
He called for the police

Dm      Am     Gm     Bb
Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down
C                       Dm     Am
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Gm              Bb             C      Dm
Why didn't you scream?  Why didn?t you shout?
Am      Gm                     Bb 
Sarah, I hated that I let you down
C                       Dm     Am
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Gm                      Bb     C      Dm
Why didn?t you scream?  Why didn?t you shout?


                Dm
The next day the sergeant
Am                      Dm
Found her blue dress in the creek
Am                      C
Her parents were so angry
Dm                      C
They put the blame on me
Gm      
Bb              Dm
Then a fortnight later
Am                      Dm
Sarah knocked upon their door
Am                      C              Dm
Her mother asked her 'Where've you been?'
C
And she said
G       F              Dm     Am     Dm     Am     Dm
'I don't know, I don't know, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I can't remember
Am
Anything at all.'

Dm      Am     Gm     Bb
Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down
C                       Dm     Am
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Gm              Bb             C      Dm
Why didn't you scream?  Why didn?t you shout?
Am      Gm                     Bb 
Sarah, I hated that I let you down
C                       Dm     Am
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Gm                      Bb     C      Dm
Why didn?t you scream?  Why didn?t you shout?
