G D A I’ve been gone for so long G And how I missed you D A My heart was aching for home G D A And then one night as I lay down G Somewhere far from you D A I dreamt that I heard you call my name G But my mind was playing games I knew right then that I’d return To where I was before And I was so tired of being away That I just couldn’t stay anymore Chorus: A D What did I ever come here for? A F# G Oh no no no no no A D What did I ever come here for? I thought if I showed up in the night In my best disguise There at your doorway in your porch light That you would look into my eyes And you would realize who I am Put your arms around me You gonna love me so much more Than you ever did before Chorus It wasn’t too long before I showed up at your door I’d been gone a thousand miles I didn’t know how much more I could stand If I could stand at all You said I looked like I’d been through World War II And my soul was worn right through I thought you would read my mind I thought you’d ask me to stay You'd never turn me away like before But you closed your door anyway Chorus Oh no no no no no Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  F#  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
