Chords

This is the best song ever written by a human and it was annoying me that the chords are incorrect on the other versions. This is better. verse: F Am Bb F chorus: F Am Bb
F              F/E
in the summer that you came

           Bb              F
there was something eating everyone

F                 F/E
and the sunshine fund was low

            Bb
we couldn't greet you

        F
with a simple hello

F                        F/E
and the watchers of the flood

           Bb                      F
were busy in their chambers

F                 F/E
making sure there was new blood

         Bb                  F
to sustain their dying veins

F
but i believed you

      F/E
no need for further questioning

Bb
i'm gonna leave with you

             F
you can teach me all you know

F
which way will we go now

                F/E
on our trip to taller windows

there was business as usual

with the same old fears and frustrations

but the word got out
it was really such a pity

but the judges and the saints
and the textbook committee
Bb
decided you should be left out
not even mentioned
F
but i believed you
