  A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter

Cm
  This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour

    F                               Bb        F/A
The sun is going down, it's getting dark

  I realise I'm cold

F/A
  The rain begins to pour

     Bb/D                            Gm       ( Gm(add9) Gm )
As I watch the windows on the second floor

Eb                                    Eb  Bb/D  Bb  F
  The lights are on, it's time to go (ohooo..)

F            Bb              Eb/G
It's time at last to let him know
[Verse 1] Cm Cm F F

    Eb/G             Bb
And so you should, I would

       Eb                  Bb/D
When I left I felt I'd had enough
