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...

Verse 3
C             Em 
She was in Chicago 
          F                      G 
Where the streets are paved with all those names 
       C             Em 
Of our heros and our dreams we tried 
        F                   G             Em 
But the house was razed and left an empty lot 
Em                    Dm            Em 
I know that you won't cry about it, hiding... 
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

So far 
G 
In late October 
Dm                            F 
The nights are darker without you here
