Verse 1:
C   Em Dm      Am        Dm    Em Dm        G
The colder the night gets  the further she strays
C   Em Dm      Am     Dm Em Dm      G
And he doesn't like it   Being this way
        C Em Dm  Am       Dm    Em Dm        G
And she tried so hard to steer away from the meeting place
        C  Em Dm  Am      Dm  Em Dm  G
But her heart had led her there

Interlude: C Em Dm Am Dm Em Dm G

Verse 2:
C   Em     Dm     Am           Dm    Em Dm   G
She clings to his consciousness  where--ver he lays
C   Em Dm       Am             Dm  Em Dm       G
He struggles to sleep at night and du-ring the day
                            C       Em Dm  Am
He's worried she's waiting in his dreams
   Dm       Em   Dm     G
To drag him back to the meeting place
    C   Em Dm  Am       Dm    Em Dm
His love   had left him there
          G
Where her voice still echoes

Chorus:
Dm           G7               Dm          G7
"I'm sorry I met you darling, I'm sorry I met you"
       Em                                       Dm
As she turned into the night all he had was the words
             G7               Dm          G7
"I'm sorry I met you darling, I'm sorry I left you"

Interlude: C Em Dm Am Dm Em Dm G

Verse 3:
C   Em    Dm        Am            Dm Em Dm       G
For weeks they had strolled around,  playing the fools
C Em   Dm       Am             Dm    Em   Dm       G
  They knew the time would come  and time would be cruel
                      C        Em Dm  Am
Because it's cruel to e--veryone
     Dm     Em   Dm       G
He's crying out  from the meeting place
               C Em Dm  Am      Dm   Em Dm
He's stran-ded himself there
          G
Where her voice still echoes,

Chorus:
Dm           G7               Dm          G7
"I'm sorry I met you darling, I'm sorry I met you"
       Em                                       Dm
As she turned into the night all he had was the words
             G7               Dm          G7
"I'm sorry I met you darling, I'm sorry I left you"
