[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...

[Chorus]
C
You'd run
G
And I'd follow
Dm             F
I'd stayed and you'd gone

[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

[Outro]
C
So far
G
In late October
Dm                            F
The nights are darker without you here
