I wait ed (C7)till I (Fmaj7)saw the sun.
(Am7)I don’t know (D7)why I (G7sus)did n’t come.
(C)I left you (C7)by the (Fmaj7)house of fun.
(Am7)I don’t know (D7)why I (G7sus)did n’t come.
(C)I don’t know (D7)why I did n’t (G7sus)come.
When I (C7)saw the (Fmaj7)break of day,
(Am7)I wished that (D7)I could (G7sus)fly a way
’stead of (C7)kneel ing (Fmaj7)in the sand
(Am7)catch ing (D7)tear drops (G7sus)in my (C)hand.
My (Am7)heart
is
(D7)drenched
in
(G7)wine,
but (Am7)you’ll
be
(D7)on
my
(G7)mind for
ev er.
Out a (C7)cross the (Fmaj7)end less sea,
I would (D7)die in (G7sus)ec sta sy.
But I’ll (C7)be a (Fmaj7)bag of bones
(Am7)driv ing (D7)down the (G7sus)road a lone.
(C)My (Am7)heart
is
(D7)drenched
in
(G7)wine,
but (Am7)you’ll
be
(D7)on
my
(G7)mind for
ev
er.
Some thing (C7)has to (Fmaj7)make you run.
(Am7)I don’t know (D7)why I (G7sus)did n’t come.
(C)I feel as (C7)emp ty (Fmaj7)as a drum.
(Am7)I don’t know (D7)why I (G7sus)did n’t come.
(C)I don’t know (D7)why I did n’t (G7sus)come.
I
don’t know (D7)why I (G7sus)did n’t (C)come.
