F#             Fm
In the summer that you came
           Bb                F#
There was something eating everyone
 F#                Fm
And the sunshine fund was low
             Bb
We couldn't greet you
         F#
With a simple hello

 F#                Fm
And the watchers of the flood
      Bb             F#
Were busy in their chambers
 F#                 Fm
Making sure there was new blood
       Bb         F#
To sustain their dying veins

         F#
But i believed you
    Fm
No need for further questioning
 Bb
I'm gonna leave with you
         F#
You can teach me all you know
                   F#
Which way will we go now
        Fm
On our trip to taller windows
          Bb
I really don't know now
          F#
I really don't know

 F#              Fm
In the winter that you left
           Bb
There was business as usual
                   F#
With the same old fears and frustrations
         F#
But the word got out
        F#/G
It was really such a pity

         Bb
But the judges and the saints
         Fm
And the textbook committee
   F#                   Bb
Decided you should be left out
          F#
Not even mentioned

         F#
But i believed you
    Fm
No need for further questioning
 Bb
I'm gonna leave with you
         F#
You can teach me all you know
                   F#
Which way will we go now
        Fm
On our trip to taller windows
          Bb
I really don't know now
          F#
I really don't know
