Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
1997 [Am]Livid Fest[Em]ival
Me and Sarah my be[G]st [Am]friend
Stripy tights [G]and fairy wings
As [Dm]safe as safe can [F]be

[Verse 2]
We drank the gin we'd [Am]snuck [Em]in
Danced to Ben [Am]Fold[Em]s Five
I turned around [G]to Sarah[Am]
Couldn't see [G]her anywhere
[Dm]As safe as safe can be
[F][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Oh S[Em]arah, I di[Dm]dn't
mean to let you [F]down
But you [G]left me on my [Am]own, [Em]Sarah
[Dm]Why didn't you s[F]cream?
[G]I went to all the stages

[Verse 4]
[Am][Em]
And to the St [Am]John's [Em]stand
The man said 'you just [C]missed [G]her
[Am]Stay - maybe she'll [G]come back again'
[Dm]I sat and watched [F]the crowds

[Verse 5]
My father came at [Am]midnight[Em]
We searched 'til half-past [Am]four
[Em]four
I was half [G]hysterical[Am]
My father [G]wasn't sure
He [Dm]called for the police
[F]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Oh Sarah,
[Em]I di[Dm]dn't mean to let you down[F]
But you [G]left me on my [Am]own, [Em]Sarah
[Dm]Why didn't you s[F]cream? Why
did[G]n't you [Am]shout?
[Em]Sarah, I [Dm]hate it that I let you [F]down
But you [G]left me on my [Am]own, [Dm]Sarah[Em]
[Dm]Why didn't you s[F]cream? Why
did[G]n't you [Am]shout?[Em]
Why didn't you shout?
[Am][Em]

[Verse 7]
The next day [Am]the sergeant[Em]
Found her blue dress in the [Am]creek[Em]
Her parents were so [Gsus4]angry[G][Am]
They put the blame [G]on me
[Dm]

[Verse 8]
[F]
Then [Am]a fortnight later
Sarah knocked upon their [Em]door
Her mother [G]asked her 'Where've
[Am]you been?'
And she [G]said
[Am]'I don't know,[Dm] I don't know,
[C]I'm[Cm] not [C]sure[Am][Em]
I'm not [Am]sure,
[Em]I can't re[Am]member anythi[Em]ng at all[Asus4]'[Am]

[Verse 9]
Oh [Em]Sarah, [Dm]I didn't
mean to let you [F]down
But you [G]left me on my [Am]own, [Em]Sarah
[Dm]Why didn't you scream? W[F]hy
did[Am]n't you shout?
[Em]Sarah, [Dm]I hate it that I let you down
[F]But you lef[Am]t me on my own, Sar[Em]ah
[Dm]Why didn't you scream?
[F]Why didn't[G] you[Am] shout?
