D G D Where once the night found us. Em C In the twilight of our love. Am C D You said you'd meet me here. Em But I'm all alone. Am C D You sounded so sincere. G Well did you lead me on. D G C G I told the starry sky to wait for you. D G C I told the wind to sigh like lovers do. D G C I even told the night that you were true. Am Bm C And you would be here soon. Am D G G D Em C And now I'm lying to the moon. C G D And so the night takes me in. Em G Like a sympathetic friend. D G D And sends away the trees. Em C And the willow weeps for me. Am C D The shadows fool my eyes. Em And I think I see you. Am C D Then they start to cry. G Don't you know that they believed you D G C G I told the starry sky to wait for you. D G C I told the wind to sigh like lovers do. D G C I even told the night that you were true. Am Bm C And you would be here soon.
