Intro: Cmaj C7 | Fmaj E7
       Am7 D7 | G7sus4 Fadd9

 Cmaj      C7    Fmaj        E7
I waited ’til I saw the sun,
Am7           D7      G7sus4    C  G7sus4
I don’t know why I didn’t come.
Cmaj        C7      Fmaj        E7
I left you by the house of fun,
Am7           D7      G7sus4 C  C7
I don’t know why I didn’t come,
 Am7          D7      G7sus4 C
I don’t know why I didn’t come.

Cmaj    C7        Fmaj      E7
When I saw the break of day
Am7           D7      G7sus4    C  G7sus4
I wished that I could fly away,
Cmaj         C7       Fmaj       E7
Instead of kneeling in the sand,
Am7        D7      G7sus4 C
Catching teardrops in my hand.

      Am7      D7/6        G     G7
   My heart is drenched in wine.
       Am7       D7/6  G7
   But you’ll be on my mind
   G7/F  C/E  G6/D
   Forever.

Cmaj  C7       Fmaj        E7
Out across the endless sea
Am7     D7     G7sus4  C  G7sus4
I will die in ecstasy.
Cmaj      C7     Fmaj       E7
But I’ll be a bag of bones,
Am7      D7      G7sus4      C
Driving down the road alone.

 Am7           D7/6        G     G7
   My heart is drenched in wine.
       Am7       D7/6  G7
   But you’ll be on my mind
   G7/F  C/E  G6/D
   Forever.

Instrumental: Cmaj C7 | Fmaj E7
              Am7 D7 | G7sus4    } 2 times

Cmaj       C7     Fmaj         E7
Something has to make you run,
Am7           D7      G7sus4    C  G7sus4
I don’t know why I didn’t come.
 Cmaj       C7    Fmaj     E7
I feel as empty as a drum,
Am7           D7      G7sus4 C  C7
I don’t know why I didn’t come,
 Am7          D7         G7sus4 C  C/G
I don’t know why I didn’t come,
 Am7          D7      G7sus4    C
I don’t know why I didn’t come.
