Intro: G+G E MajorE FF G+G C majorC

FF     C majorC      G+G
I've been gone for so long
      C majorC   FF
And how I missed you
       C majorC     G+G
My heart was aching for home
FF       C majorC       G+G
And then one night as I lay down
     C majorC     FF
Somewhere far from you
        C majorC        G+G
I dreamt that I heard you call my name
         FF
But my mind was playing games

     C majorC        G+G
I knew right then that I'd return
      C majorC    FF
To where I was before
       C majorC    G+G
And I was so tired of being away
        C majorC      FF
That I just couldn't stay anymore
         G+G     C majorC
What did I ever come here for?
G+G    E MajorE   FF
Oh no no no no no
        G+G     C majorC
What did I ever come here for?

FF        C majorC        G+G
I thought if I showed up in the night
    C majorC   FF
In my best disguise
              C majorC    G+G
There at your doorway in your porch light
           C majorC   FF
That you would look into my eye
           C majorC   G+G
And you would realize who I am
        C majorC   FF
Put your arms around me
          C majorC    G+G
You gonna love me so much more
          FF
Than you ever did before
        G+G     C majorC
What did I ever come here for?
G+G   E MajorE    FF
Oh no no no no no
        G+G     C majorC
What did I ever come here for?

FF       C majorC   G+G
It wasn't too long before
       C majorC   FF
I showed up at your door
     C majorC       G+G
I'd been gone a thousand miles
FF       C majorC          G+G
I didn't know how much more I could stand
      C majorC     FF
If I could stand at all
              C majorC           G+G
You said I looked like I'd been through World War II
         C majorC     FF
And my soul was worn right through
             C majorC G+G
I thought you would read my mind
           C majorC   FF
I thought you'd ask me to stay
           C majorC     G+G
You'd never turn me away like before
          C majorC   FF
But you closed your door anyway
        G+G     C majorC
What did I ever come here for?
G+G   E MajorE    FF
Oh no no no no no
        G+G     C majorC
What did I ever come here for?
G+G   E MajorE    FF
Oh no no no no no
        G+G     C majorC
What did I ever come here for?
G+G   E MajorE    FF
Oh no no no no no
        G+G     C majorC
