G
G C D
When the sun went down,
C G
You were sittin' under someone else's sunset.
G C D
And I wasn't around
C G
And you were wishin' that I was the guy that you'd just met.
C
And I was probably stumbling down some
D G
Backstreet ally in Amsterdam
Em D
While you were makin' excuses and breakin' another heart
C D G
Or maybe I was drinkin' wine with the pigeons in the square in Venice
Em
While I was wonderin' what you're doin'
D
And wonderin' where you are...
G C D
When the stars came out,
C G
I was sittin' in a studio on Sunset
G C D
And the lights were down
C G
And I was wishin' that the time we'd had wasn't over yet.
C
And you were probably sittin' in an airport
D G
Waitin' on a plane to Vegas
Em D
While I was packin' a suitcase and starin' at a waitin' car.
C D G
Or maybe you were headed out to some house party on Lake Austin
Em
And I'm wonderin' what you're doin'
D
And wonderin' where you are...
A D E D A D E D A
A D E
When my luck ran out,
D A
I was sittin' on a concrete block in Little Rock.
A D E
We didn't scream or shout,
D
We just said goodbye, then I waited for the click
A
And the lights went out.
D E A
And now I'm packin' it up and rollin' on out for Vancouver
F#m E
For some wasted youth and fresh set of lonely stars
D E A
And I'm wonderin' baby, if you ever really saw the best of us
F#m
And I wonder what you're doin'
E
And I wonder where you are...
F#m
I still wonder what you're doin'
E A D E
And I wonder where you are...
