chorus: F Am Bb

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

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

F
but i believed you
      Am
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
                Am
on our trip to taller windows
               Bb
i really don't know now
               F
i really don't know

F                      Am
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
Am
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
Am
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
                Am
on our trip to taller windows
               Bb
i really don't know now
               F
i really don't know
