First Verse
Bb
If I'd only come and gone
Bb C F
The way I've always done with summer girls before
F Bb C F
Shared one night with you and never reached for more
F C C
Then we wouldn't face this long and painful righting of the wrong
If I'd just come and gone
Second Verse
Bb
If I hadn't stayed so long
Bb C F
And merely parked my dusty boots outside your door
F Bb C F
Tracked no footprints 'cross your polished hardwood floor
F C C
If I'd have left you in your doorway smilin' drowsy at the dawn
F
If I'd just come and gone
Third Verse
F Bb F
Then I'd be on a shinin' silver plane dippin' into Denver
F Bb F
Or a schooner blowin' down The Biscayne Bay
F Bb C F
You'd be safely tucked away among the pleasure I'd remember
'Stead of lyin' here beside me fearin' restless thoughts inside me
That might awaken with the breakin' of each new day
Fourth Verse
Bb
If you'd only stopped to read
Bb C F
Cold hard words I carved on other bedroom walls
F Bb C F
And heard the mornin' coffee truths I told 'em all
F C
I'd still be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song
You'd never have loved me if I'd just come and gone
Outro
F
If I'd just come and gone
F Bb
If I'd only come and gone
Bb C
If I'd only come and gone
