I believe this song is played with the guitar tuned half a step down, but i hate changing my tuning just to play a song, and it still sounds perfect this way. Have Fun.
BG#mD# You said you'd wait at night for me, BG#mD# Near where the swings have always been. EF# I left my house and made no sound, BG#m Not a soul was all around. EF# Soon I saw the streetlights glow, BG#m Ran towards to say hello, EF# Everything was in my view, AGC#m Everything and everything but you.
F#C#m Oh, but you F#C#m Oh, but you F#GF# Oh, but you
BG#mD# I took a left and stole a right BG#mD# Counted my steps on that dark night. EF# I knew you must be somewhere near BG#m You'd said you'd meet me here. EF# Maybe you had lost your way BG#m In the shadows blue and grey. EF# Everything was clear and true, AGC#m Everything and everything but you.
F#C#m Oh, but you F#C#m Oh, but you F#GF# Oh, but you
BG#mD# What could I do you? I still had faith. BG#mD#F I saw my clock's dishevelled face. EF# But hours passed and still no sign, BG#m Days and nights and Summertimes. EF# I am old but have no fear, BG#m You said you would meet me here. EF# Everything is clear and true, AG#C#m Everything and everything but you.
F#C#m Oh, but you F#CC#m Oh, but you F#GF#B Oh, but you
