A F#m A
it was the shortest day of autumn
F#m A
until the moment that i caught on
F#m Bm
that i might still be forgotten
A F#m A
i was so scared to try to kiss you
F#m A
now we’d scarcely find an issue
F#m Bm
but you’re barely finding it used
C#m
oh , it’s not fair
D C#m
that your love should move so slow
D C#m
like the faintest starlights glow
D Bm
which moves swiftly , oh , i know
A
it’s just got , oh , so far to go
F#m A F#m
A F#m A
so i sent some glances to her
F#m A
but they missed or went right through her
F#m Bm
though i couldn’t have aimed truer
C#m D C#m
and it’s not fair that your love should strike so weak
D C#m
and our affections feel so meek
D Bm
and our future seems so bleak
A
and oh , we’ve got so far to go
F#m A
we’re not ever coming home
F#m A
we’re not ever coming home
