[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Last night I heard my own heart beating

Sounded like footsteps on my stairs

Six months gone and I'm still reaching

Even though I know you're not there

I was playing back a thousand memories, baby

Thinking 'bout everything we've been through

Maybe I've been going back too much lately

When time stood still and I had you

[Chorus]

Come back, come back, come back to me-e like

You would, you would, if this was a movie

Bm A G A

Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out

Come back, come back, come back to me-e like

You could, you could, if you just said you're sorry

Bm A G

I know that we could work it out somehow

A G A Bm A

But if this was a movie you'd be here by now

[Verse 2]

I know people change and these things happen

But I remember how it was back then

Locked up in your arms and our friends are laughing

'Cause nothing like this ever happened to them

Now I'm pacing down the hall

Chasing down your street

Bm A

Flashback to the night when you said to me

G A

Nothing's gonna change not for me and you

Bm A

Not before I knew how much I had to lose

[Chorus]

Come back, come back, come back to me-e like

You would, you would, if this was a movie

Bm A G A

Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out

Come back, come back, come back to me-e like

You could, you could, if you just said you're sorry

Bm A G

I know that we could work it out somehow

A G A Bm A

But if this was a movie you'd be here by now

[Bridge]

If you're out there, if you're

Somewhere, if you're moving on

I've been waiting for you

Ever since you've been gone

G A

I just want it back the way it was before

Dsus2 Bm A G

* * *

And I just wanna see you back at my front door

And I'd say...

[Chorus]

Come back, come back, come back to me-e like

You would before you said it's not that easy

Bm A G

Before the fight, before I locked you out

But I take it all back now

Come back, come back, come back to me-e like

You would, you would, if this was a movie

Bm A G A

Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out

Come back, come back, come back to me-e like

You could, you could, if you just said you're sorry

Bm A G

I know that we could work it out somehow

A G A Bm

But if this was a movie you'd be here by now

[Outro]

A G A Bm

You'd be here by now

A G A Bm

It's not the kind of ending you wanna see now

A G A Bm

Baby, what about the ending, oh

A G A Bm A G A Bm

I thought you'd be here by now, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

A G A Bm

Thought you'd be here by now
