Lyrics

You say you got ta go and find your self.

You say that you’re be com in’ some one else,

don’t rec og nize the face in the mir ror look ing back at you.

You say you’re leav in’ as you look a way.

I know there’s real ly noth in’ left to say.

Just know I’m here when ev er you need me; I will wait for you.

So I’ll let you go, I’ll set you free; and when you see what you need to see, when you find you,

come back to me.

Take your time; I won’t go an y where.

Pic ture you with the wind in your hair.

I’ll keep your things right where you left ’em; (D#dim)I’ll be here (E)for you.

Oh, and I’ll let you go, I’ll set you free; and when you see what you need to see, when you find you,

come back to (D#dim)me.

And I hope you find ev ’ry thing that you need; I’ll be right here, wait ing to see.

When you find you,

come back to me.

And I can’t get close if you’re not there; I can’t get in side if there’s no soul to bare.

I can’t (B)fix you, I can’t (F#m7)save you;

it’s (A)some thing you’ll have to do.

So I’ll let you go, I’ll set you free; and when you see what you need to see, when you find you,

come back to me.

Come back to me.

So I’ll let

Nah (E)ooh,

When you find you,

come back to me.

Nah (E)ooh,

nah (Emaj7)ooh.

When you find you,

come back to me.

Nah

When you find you,

come back to me.
