G D/F# If you're standing with your suitcase But you can't step on the train C Everything's the way that you left it I still haven't slept yet And if you're covering your face now But you just can't hide the pain Still setting two plates on the counter But eating without 'cha If the truth is you're a liar When you say that you're okay I'm sleepin on your side of the bed, goin' out of my head now And if you're out there try'na move on But somethin' pulls you back again I'm sitting here tryin' to persuade you Like you're in the same room Em G And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder D Bm And I wish you could still give me a hard time Em G And I wish I could still wish it was over D But even if wishing is a waste of time Even if I never cross your mind Chorus: G I'll leave the door on the latch D/F# If you ever come back if you ever come back C There'll be a light in the hall a nd a key under the mat If you ever come back G There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on D/F# And it will be just like you were never gone C There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat If you ever come back if you ever come back now G D/F# C Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back now Now they say I'm wasting my time Cause you're never coming home But they used to say the world was flat But how wrong was that now And by leaving my door open I'm risking everythin' I own There's nothin' I can lose in a break-in That you haven't taken And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder And I wish you could still give me a hard time And I wish I could still wish it was over But even if wishing is a waste of time Even if I never cross your mind Chorus: I'll leave the door on the latch If you ever come back if you ever come back There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat If you ever come back There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on And it will be just like you were never gone There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat If you ever come back if you ever come back now If you ever come back if you ever come back now D Am If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss D Am I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this D Am If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss Oh just remember this, oh just remember this Chorus: I'll leave the door on the latch If you ever come back if you ever come back There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat If you ever come back There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on And it will be just like you were never gone There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat If you ever come back if you ever come back now Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back G And it will be just like you were never gone D/F# And it will be just like you were never gone C And it will be just like you were never gone G D/F# C If you ever come back if you ever come back now You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  Em  F#  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
