[Intro]
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7 G#7#5 C#m7 F#7 B7sus
[Verse 1]
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7 G#7#5
I waited 'til I saw the sun
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
I don't know why I didn't come
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7 G#7#5
I left you by the house of fun
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
I don't know why I didn't come I
C#m7 F#7 B7sus
Don't know why I didn't come
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7 G#7#5
When I saw the break of day
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
I wished that I could fly away
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7 G#7#5
‘Stead of kneeling in the sand
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
Catching tear drops in my hand
[Chorus 1]
C#m7 F#13 F#7 B7sus B7
My heart is drenched in wine
C#m7 F#13 F#7 B7sus B/A E/G# B7
But you'll be on my mind forever
[Verse 3]
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7 G#7#5
Out across the endless sea
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
I would die in ecstasy
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7 G#7#5
But I'll be a bag of bones
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
Driving down the road alone
[Chorus 2]
C#m7 F#13 F#7 B7sus B7
My heart is drenched in wine
C#m7 F#13 F#7 B7sus B/A E/G# B7
But you'll be on my mind forever
[Verse 4]
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7 G#7#5
Something has to make you run
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
I don't know why I didn't come I
Emaj7 E7 Amaj7 G#7#5
Feel as empty as a drum
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
I don't know why I didn't come I
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
Don't know why I didn't come
C#m7 F#7 B7sus E
I don't know why I didn't come
