Lyrics

I know you’re (Em7)gone;

I watched you (D9)leave.

I al ways (Em7)thought

that it was (Dsus)me.

You made it (G)clear

with that last (F#m)kiss,

you could n’t (Em)live a life with may be’s and what (A7sus)if’s.

When ev ’ry (Em7)boat

has sailed a (D9)way

and ev ’ry (Em7)path

is marked and (D)paved,

when (F#m7)ev ’ry (G)road

has (C#m7)had its (F#m7)say,

then I’ll be (Em)bring ing you back (A7)home to (D)stay.

I have the (Am7)cards

you sent to (G)me.

You wrote of (Am7)trains and Par is gal ler (G)ies.

This spring you’ll (Em7)draw

ca nals and (F#m)fres coed (Bm)walls.

Look how (Cmaj7)far (Bm7)your (Am7)dream ing’s (G)gone.

When (Bm)ev ’ry (Em)town

looks (A)just the (D)same,

when (D#dim)ev ’ry (Em)choice

gets (A)hard to (D)make,

when (D)ev ’ry (G)map

is put a (F#m)way,

then I’ll be (Em)bring ing you back (A)home to (D)stay.

And now I (Em7)know

why you (A)had to (F#m)go a (Bm7)lone.

Is n’t (Cmaj7)there (Bm)a (Am7)place (D)be tween.

When ev ’ry (Em7)boat

has sailed a (D)way

and ev ’ry (Em7)path

is marked and (D)paved,

when ev ’ry (G9)road

has (G)had its (F#m)say,

then I’ll be (Em)bring ing you back (Em7)home to (B9sus)stay.

Reach out to (G)me.

Call (A7)out my (Bm7)name

and I would (Em)bring you back a (A7)gain

to (D)day.
