Intro: Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am 1997 Livid Festival Dm Am C Me and Sarah my best friend Dm C Stripy tights and fairy wings Gm As safe as safe can be Bb Dm We drank the gin we'd snuck in Am Dm Danced to Ben Folds Five Am C I turned around to Sarah Dm C Couldn't see her anywhere Gm Bb Bb/C As safe as safe can be Dm Am Gm Bb Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down C Dm Am But you left me on my own, Sarah Gm Bb Why didn't you scream? C Dm I went to all the stages Am Dm And to the St John's stand Am C The man said 'you just missed her Dm C Stay - maybe she'll come back again' Gm Bb I sat and watched the crowds Dm My father came at midnight Am Dm We searched til half-past four Am C I was half hysterical Dm C My father wasn't sure Gm Bb He called for the police Dm Am Gm Bb Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down C Dm Am But you left me on my own, Sarah Gm Bb C Dm Why didn't you scream? Why didn?t you shout? Am Gm Bb Sarah, I hated that I let you down C Dm Am But you left me on my own, Sarah Gm Bb C Dm Why didn?t you scream? Why didn?t you shout?
