Intro:
D MajorD        G+G
 Ooh oh whoa   Ooh oh whoa
D MajorD        G+G

          D MajorD
It was only for a fight
              G+G
That I asked you to come in
               A augmentedA
But you brought me tumblin' down
              D MajorD
And the walls came caving in
              D MajorD
Won't you help me dry my tears
              G+G
Help me roll away the years
              A augmentedA
Then perhaps I will forgive you
            D MajorD
And the hurt will disappear

           G+G
But in a fit of blind arrogance
      A augmentedA        Asus4Asus4
You stood up and walked away
D MajorD         G+G
If you'd given me half a chance
     A augmentedA
I'll be waiting for the day
          D MajorD
For the day that you
  B minorBm   D MajorD
Oh oh come back to me
         A augmentedA G+G
Come on back to me
D MajorD  B minorBm   D MajorD
You oh come back to me

A augmentedA G+G D MajorD G+G
             D MajorD
So forget the long goodbye
           G+G
You never really tried
               A augmentedA
Threw the keys down on the table
               D MajorD
You've got your sense of pride
               D MajorD
Then you had to tell the world
            G+G
Your story must be heard
            A augmentedA
Slammed the door behind you
           D MajorD
Without a single word

           G+G
But in a fit of blind arrogance
      A augmentedA
You stood up and walked away
        D MajorD
The day that you
  B minorBm   D MajorD
Oh oh come back to me
         A augmentedA G+G
Come on back to me
D MajorD  B minorBm    D MajorD               A augmentedA G+G
You  oh come back to me, come on back to me
D MajorD  B minorBm     D MajorD     A augmentedA G+G
You oh oh come back to me

Bb majorBb
You know I never had a single thought in my head, no I
D MajorD             Bb majorBb
Never had a single thought

[breakdown, no chords]

            D MajorD
Oh for the day that you
  B minorBm   D MajorD               A augmentedA G+G
Oh oh come back to me, come on back to me
D MajorD  B minorBm     D MajorD               A augmentedA G+G
You oh oh come back to me, come on back to me

D MajorD
You can be my lifelong friend
B minorBm
You can be the light of dawn
D MajorD
You can keep me close at hand
A augmentedA        G+G
You can keep me safe and warm

D MajorD
I will be your fantasy
B minorBm
If you come and stay with me
D MajorD
I will try to give you all
A augmentedA        G+G
Waiting for the night to fall

D MajorD
You can be the light of day
B minorBm
You can be my lifelong friend
D MajorD
You can keep me close at hand
A augmentedA        G+G
Waiting for the day to end

D MajorD
I will be your fantasy
B minorBm
If you come and stay with me
D MajorD
I will try to give my all
A augmentedA         G+G
Waiting for the night to fall
