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? 


                Dm 
The next day the sergeant 
Am                      Dm 
Found her blue dress in the creek 
Am                      C 
Her parents were so angry 
Dm                      C 
They put the blame on me 
Gm       
Bb              Dm 
Then a fortnight later 
Am                      Dm 
Sarah knocked upon their door 
Am                      C              Dm 
Her mother asked her 'Where've you been?' 
C 
And she said 
G       F              Dm     Am     Dm     Am     Dm 
'I don't know, I don't know, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I can't remember 
Am 
Anything at all.' 

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?
