[F#] [G]
[D] [G] I've been [D] gone for so [A] long
And [D] how I missed [G] you
My heart [D] was aching for [A] home
[G] And then [D] one night as I [A] laid down
[D] Somewhere far [G] from you
I [D] dreamt that I heard you [A] call my name
But my mind was [G] playing games
I [D] knew right then that [A] I'd return
[D] To where I [G] was before
[D] And I was so tired of being [A] away
That I just couldn't [G] stay anymore
What did I ever [A] come here [D] for?
[G] [A] Oh [F#] no
What [G] did I ever [D] come here for?
[G] I [D] thought if I showed up [A] in the night
[D]
In my [G] best disguise
[D] There was a doorway in your [A] porch light
That you would look into [G] my eyes
[D] And you would realize who [A] I am
[D] Put your arms around [G] me
[D] You're gonna love me so [A] much more
Than you ever [G] did before
What did I ever [D] come here for?
Oh [A] [F#] [G] no
What did I ever come [D] here for?
[Bm] [A#]
[E] [G#] [G]
[D] [A]
[Bm] [E] [G]
[A] [A]
[G] [D] It wasn't too long [A] before
[D] I showed up at your [G] door
I've [D] been going a thousand [A] miles
I [G] didn't [D] know how much more [A] I could stand
[D] If I could stand at [G] all
You said it looked [D] like I'd been through World [A] War II
And my soul was worn [G] right through
I thought [D] you would read my [A] mind
I thought [D]
you'd ask me [G] to stay
You [D] never turned me away [A] like before
But you closed your [G] door anyway
What did I ever [D] come here for?
[A] [F#] Oh no
[G] What did I ever [D] come here for?
[A] [F#] Oh no
[G] What did I ever [D] come here for?
[A] Oh no, no, no, [F#] no, no
[G]
What did I [A] ever come [D] here for?
