F                            Gm
in the summer that you came
                  Bb                              F
there was something eating everyone
F                               Gm
and the sunshine fund was low
                        Bb
we couldn't greet you
                          F
with a simple hello

F                              Gm
and the watchers of the flood
           Bb                      F
were busy in their chambers
F                                Gm
making sure there was new blood
         Bb                  F
to sustain their dying veins

F
but i believed you
      C
no need for further questioning
Bbm
i'm gonna leave with you
             F
you can teach me all you know
F
which way will we go now
                C
on our trip to taller windows
               Bbm
i really don't know now
               F
i really don't know

F                      Gm
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
it was really such a pity
Gm
but the judges and the saints
and the textbook committee
Bb
decided you should be left out
not even mentioned

F
but i believed you
C
no need for further questioning
Bbm
i'm gonna leave with you
                F
you can teach me all you know
F
which way will we go now
                C
on our trip to taller windows
               Bbm
i really don't know now
               F
i really don't know
