I believe this song is played with the guitar tuned half a step down, but i hate changing my
tuning just to play a song, and it still sounds perfect this way. Have Fun.

 BYou said you'd wait at G#mnight D#for me, 
 BNear where the swings G#mhave always beeD#n. 
 I lEeft my house and made no souF#nd, 
 BNot a soul was all arouG#mnd. 
 ESoon I saw the streetlF#ights glow, 
 BRan towards to say hellG#mo, 
 EEverything was in my viF#ew, 
 AEverything and everythiGng but you. C#m  
 F#Oh,    C#mbut you 
 F#Oh,    C#mbut you 
 F#Oh,    Gbut yF#ou 
 BI took a left and stoG#mle a riD#ght 
 BCounted my steps on thG#mat dark night. D#  
 EI knew you must be somewhere F#near 
 BYou'd said you'd meet mG#me here.
