If You Ever Come Back

View chords used in this chart
G
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
 
G
And if you're covering your face now
 
But you just can't hide the pain
C
Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without 'cha
 
G
If the truth is you're a liar
 
When you say that you're okay
C
I'm sleepin on your side of the bed goin' out of my head now
 
G
And if you're out there try'na move on
 
But somethin' pulls you back again
C
I'm sitting here try'na persuade you like your in the same room
 
Em G
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
D C
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
D
Even if I never cross your mind
 
G
I'll leave the door on the latch
D
If you ever come back if you ever come back
C
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
 
If you ever come back
G
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
D
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
G
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
D C
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back now
 
G
Now they say I'm wasting my time
C
'Cause you're never commin home
 
But they used to say the world was flat but how wrong was that now
 
G
And by leavin' my door open
C
I'm risking everythin' I own
 
There's nothin' I can lose in a break-in that you haven't taken
 
Em G
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
D C
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
C
Even if I never cross your mind
 
G
I'll leave the door on the latch
D
If you ever come back if you ever come back
C
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
 
If you ever come back
G
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
D
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
G
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
D C
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back now
 
D C
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
D C
I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
D C
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
 
Oh just remember this, oh just remember this
 
G
I'll leave the door on the latch
D
If you ever come back if you ever come back
C
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
 
If you ever come back
G
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
D
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
G
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
D C
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back now
 
G
And it will be just like you were never gone
D
And it will be just like you were never gone
C
And it will be just like you were never gone
G
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
