[Intro]
C Em F G
[Verse 1]
C Em
You were down when I met you,
F G
But deep in your eyes I could see the sign
C Em
With a thousand drummers drumming
F G Em
And a hundred singers singing songs of love
Em Dm Em
Whatever they knew about it, love...
Em F
Whatever it meant to them
[Verse 2]
C Em
So we all met up after school
F G
And you took us home into your room
C Em
You'd skip class and drummed all day
F G Em
So I put my books down and picked up the camera...
Em Dm Em
Was it you that I filmed? Upon...
Em F
____??____
[Chorus]
C
You'd run
G
And I'd follow
Dm F

[Verse 3]
C Em
She was in Chicago
F G

C Em
Of our heros and our dreams we tried
F G Em

Em Dm Em

Em F
Hiding the tears in your eyes
[Chorus]
C
You'd run
G
And I'd follow
Dm F
I'd stayed and you'd gone
[Outro]
C
So far
G
In late October
Dm F
The nights are darker without you here
