Am Em  C   Am Em D

While I sEmtand on sacred Gground.
Where Donce the Gnight found Dus.
In the Emtwilight of our Clove.
AmYou said you'd Cmeet me hDere.
But EmI'm all alone.
AmYou sounded Cso sincDere.
Well did you lGead me on.
DI told the Gstarry sky to Cwait for Gyou.
DI told the Gwind to sigh Clike lovers do.
DI even Gtold the night that Cyou were true.
And Amyou would Bmbe here Csoon.
And now I'm Amlying Dto the Gmoon.G  D  Em  C  
CAnd so the Gnight takes me Din.
Like a Emsympathetic Gfriend.
And Dsends Gaway the tDrees.

AmThe shadows Cfool my eDyes.
And I Emthink I see you.
AmThen they Cstart to Dcry.
Don't you Gknow that they believed you
DI told the Gstarry sky to Cwait for Gyou.
DI told the Gwind to sigh Clike lovers do.

And Amyou would Bmbe here Csoon.

I watch the sun going down

Em G

While I stand on sacred ground.

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.

But I'm all alone.

Am C D

You sounded so sincere.

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.

And I think I see you.

Am C D

Then they start to cry.

Don't you know that they believed you

D G C G

I told the starry sky to wait for you.

I told the wind to sigh like lovers do.

I even told the night that you were true.
