(tacit) [em]

The years are short just as the day is long

It was me on the corner

It was only me when you were looking

 [am] [em]

Not to kneel to anyone else, get it Pete

(tacit) [em]

It's been thirteen years and a couple of days

since that cab blew that light and dragged you away from us.

  [am] [em]

And I still wonder what you might think, what you might say

It's been thirteen years and a couple of days.

(tacit) [am]

And now it's far too late to go

[em]

No one ever saw the show

[am]

Blame the witches blame the saints

 No one cares which ones are fake

[em]

And we'll never need to know.

[am]

It was far to soon to go

[em]

You never get to see the show

[am]

Call all the witches and the saints

 The ones who were real, the ones who were fake

[em]

Call them and let them know

(each chord here represents two beats)

(tacit) [em]

Would you want to play along

Would you approve but now you're gone

[am]

So I'll never know the jokes, the lengths

  [em]

To which you might go, I'll never know

(tacit) [em]

It's been thirteen years and a couple of days

Knocked out of your boots and flown through the air

  [am] [em]

Ending conversations now I'll never get to hear

(tacit) [am]

It was far to soon to go

[em]

You never got to see the show

[am]

Call all the witches, call the saints

 The ones who were real, the ones who were fake

[em]

Call them and let them know

[am]

And now it's far too late to go

[em]

We've missed the parties, we've missed the shows

[am]

Dancing's for witches, guilt's for saints

 Who cares more is a debate

[em]

And I guess I'll never know

Now it's far too late to go

No one ever saw the show

[am]

Blame the witches and the saints

 No one cares which ones are fake

[em]

And we never need to know

[am]

No, no it's far too soon to go

[em]

Don't miss the parties, don't miss the shows

[am]

Dance with witches, drink with saints

 Do you care which ones are fake

[em]

If we go we'll never know
