[Intro]

A5
Am F D G N.C.

[Verse 1]

    C
I always felt that I had quite a gift
         Fm
As a judge of human character
C
This is the day and the time and the place
          Dm                      C
And I wonder, wonder where you are
Bb                           F
Surely we set it for 3pm
Eb                               C
Surely we said it was March the 10th

[Chorus]

Am
(Equator, Equator)
Am
You said you'd meet me there
                                              G      G5* G5*
You must be just around the bend

[Verse 2]

         C
Well, all of the gifts are now melted or dead
              Fm
And I'm sorry, sorry in advance
C
I'll make it up to you, that I can promise you
Dm                      C
If I am given just half the chance
Bb                                     F
God, you'll be laughing, I look a mess
       Eb                         C
But you see I've been half way around this place

I've got to stop here and rest for a moment
       Fm
I'm sure that you're not far away
C
You always walked just as slow as you talked
Dm                      C
Letting me think I could have my way
   Bb                           F
I wasn't fooled for a second, girl

I knew it was you who controlled our world
