I
wait ed till I saw the sun.
I don’t know why I did (F7sus)n’t come.
I left you by
the house of fun.
I don’t know why I did (F7sus)n’t come,
I
don’t know why I did n’t (F7sus)come.
When I saw
the break of day,
I wished that I could fly a way,
’stead of kneel ing in (Ebmaj7)the sand,
(Gm7)catch ing tear drops (F7sus)in my hand.
My (Gm7)heart is
drenched
in
wine,
but (Gm7)you’ll be
on
my
mind
(F7)for
(Bb)ev
(F)er.
Out a cross the end (Ebmaj7)less sea,
I would die in ec (F7sus)sta sy.
But I’ll be
a bag of bones,
(Gm7)driv ing down
the road a lone.
My heart is drenched
in
wine,
but (Gm7)you’ll be
on
my
mind
for
ev
er.
Some thing has to make you run.
I don’t know why I did (F7sus)n’t come.
I
feel as emp ty as a drum.
I don’t know why I did (F7)n’t come,
I
don’t know why I did n’t (F7)come.
I
don’t know why I did (F7sus)n’t come.
