Words and music by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell


Intro:
D                G
  Ooh oh whoa      Ooh oh whoa
D                G

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

                      G
But in a fit of blind arrogance
           A                Asus4
You stood up and walked away
D                 G
If you'd given me half a chance
          A
I'll be waiting for the day
                    D
For the day that you
   Bm      D
Oh oh come back to me
                  A  G
Come on back to me
D   Bm      D
You oh come back to me

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

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

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

[breakdown, no chords]

                       D
Oh for the day that you
   Bm      D                             A  G
Oh oh come back to me, come on back to me
D   Bm         D                             A  G
You oh oh come back to me, come on back to me

D
You can be my lifelong friend
Bm
You can be the light of dawn
D
You can keep me close at hand
A                G
You can keep me safe and warm

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

D
You can be the light of day
Bm
You can be my lifelong friend
D
You can keep me close at hand
A                G
Waiting for the day to end

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