Intro:
  DOoh oh whoa      GOoh oh whoa
D                G
It was only for a fiDght
That I asked you to come inG  
But you brought me tumblin' doAwn
And the walls came caving inD  
Won't you help me dry my teDars
Help me roll away the yearsG  
Then perhaps I will forgive Ayou
And the hurt will disappDear
But in a fit of blind Garrogance
You stood uAp and walked awayAsus4  
DIf you'd given me Ghalf a chance
I'll be waAiting for the day
For the day that youD  
Oh Bmoh come Dback to me
Come on back to meA  G  
DYou Bmoh come Dback to me
A  G  D  G
So forget the long goodbyeD  
You never really triedG  
Threw the keys down on the taAble
You've got your sense of prideD  
Then you had to tell the worldD  
Your story must be heardG  
Slammed the door behind Ayou
Without a single wordD  
But in a fit of blind Garrogance
You stood uAp and walked away
The day that you D  
Oh Bmoh come Dback to me
Come on back to meA  G

Intro:

D G

Ooh oh whoa Ooh oh whoa

D G

It was only for a fight

That I asked you to come in

But you brought me tumblin' down

And the walls came caving in

Won't you help me dry my tears

Help me roll away the years

Then perhaps I will forgive you

And the hurt will disappear

But in a fit of blind arrogance

A Asus4

You stood up and walked away

If you'd given me half a chance

I'll be waiting for the day

For the day that you

Bm D

Oh oh come back to me

A G

Come on back to me

D Bm D

You oh come back to me

A G D G

So forget the long goodbye

You never really tried

Threw the keys down on the table

You've got your sense of pride

Then you had to tell the world

Your story must be heard

Slammed the door behind you

Without a single word

But in a fit of blind arrogance

You stood up and walked away

The day that you

Bm D

Oh oh come back to me

If you come and stay with me

I will try to give you all

Waiting for the night to fall

You can be the light of day

You can be my lifelong friend

You can keep me close at hand

A G

Waiting for the day to end
