Lots of interest on this song following the cover version sang by Aizat in Yasmin Ahmad’s new movie ‘Talentime’ - which has just been released in 45 cinemas all over Malaysia. As promised, here are the lyrics.
I wrote most of the music in the ‘Talentime’ - the main compositions of which includes 2 new songs called ‘Just One Boy’ [sang by Aizat] and ‘Angel’ [sang by Atilia]. You’ll soon be hearing Malay versions of these songs over the radio too. I’ll fill up the back story to stuff I have been up to in a few days. But for now, enjoy the lyrics & Chords. 
I Go
G - D/F# - C/add9 - G
So long, fare thee well
Em - G - Am - D
The dancer and the dancing days have taken leave and fell
G - D/F# - C/add9 - G
So turn down this bed of stone
Em - Am - C - D - G - Am - Am/B
Quench me with the deadly nightshade from the rose that you belong
C - G - Am - Am
The long December rain is falling now
C - G - Em - Em
Running down on streets to nowhere
C - G - Am - Am
Music is my life youre my sweetest nightingale
Bm7flat5 - E7 - Am - Am/B - C
But I cant hear it here no more
G - D/F# - C/add9 - C/add9
And I go
G - D/F# - C/add9 - C/add9
I go
Hush now, dont shake or break
Words have fallen silent like soldiers to the grave
No matter what they do or say
Lay me on the sleepy meadow by the tracks upon your face

CHORD NOTES: My guitar on the recorded version was de-tuned from standard 440 pitch. This means these chords are written in a key higher than the recorded version by roughly one whole step. To get back in tune with the recorded version, just de-tune your guitar one step down [plus or minus a few cents]. Why did I de-tune? Long story. Tricky bugger, that’s me.

while listening to this song at the end of TALENTIME movie, i didn’t realize that tears had slowly flowing down from my eyes down to the cheek. this is such a beautiful song which fits the ending part of the movie really well. good job, pete!
I have been in love with this song ever since I heard it on EBS Space. Its such a beautiful song have wondered why you have not released it in Malaysia. I guess now Kak Yasmin will bring it to the people of Malaysia through her movie. I cried too when I saw it in Talentime. It is magical, even when sang by a boy.
Please so not hide your gift away from your people Pete. People like you and Kak Yasmin give us hope. I will always love you for your quirkiness, your humours, and most of all, for you sublime artistry.
I am glad you are one of us.
omg!versi melayu? nak dengar ! XD

Hauntingly beautiful…thank you.

A beautiful song, but IMHO Angel was even better. Everything from the arrangement to the lyrics was just sublime.
Any chance of posting the chords for that too? kthxbai!
where can i find lost in america lyrics??????????????????????
Hello Pete,
I heard this song for the first time in Talentime movie. I tried to play the song with my guitar and now I know why you tuned down the string. I just can’t imitate the sound with the original string arrangement. After tuning it down 1 step, I can get the low bass tone with an open E string. I guess that’s the reason why you tuned it down. Anyway, it’s a masterpiece. A unique sound and mellow melody.
Спасибо вам огромное, пост действительно толково написан и по делу, есть что почерпнуть.
Hey, I heard your song in Talentime… it’s really beautiful and deeply moving.
It’s also truly inspiring, especially for young Malaysian songwriters like myself. Keep writing! 
This is my latest LSS.
Song’s incredible!
Сенкс автору. Возможно, в будущем я и действительно реализую аналогичную затею.
what a piece of art
such a beautiful song. no comment!
спасибо
Hi Pete,
I just saw Talentime here at the Hawaii International Film Festival, and Loved it!!! Can you tell us the chord progression for the song Angel, sung by Atilia? Such beautiful lyrics and chords!!!
Aloha,
Gordon
hey pete…just wanted to drop by and tell you that this is one AMAZING piece…
i’m hooked unto this song…=)
Cherrie
Dear Pete
I wouldnt spoil you with anymore beautiful words to tell you how great you are. I’d only hope you are happy each and everyday and knowing that you are the leader for us and we all need you. So, Take Good Care!
Cheers~
I love Talentime, and the songs are beautiful too. My father noticed that the word Talentime pasted on the wall at the stage was ‘Tale N Time’… it all makes sense from there on. You could be an amazing poet, it’s hard to find people who write beutiful meaningful lyrics these days. This song and Angel are my faves. Good job and keep it up!!!!
Wow.. Amazing song..
And in the movie.. it brings the audience to tears effortlessly..
Hope all the good words will inspire you to write more beautiful songs!
All the best Pete!
I really love the movie, the sound track and everything about it. it deeply touch me in many ways. Any possibility you could give the chords for the English version of Angel. I just love the song to much. Been looking for it but seem to fail in search of it. Would love to learn to play this beautiful song.
