[INTRO]  G   F#  Em  
BmSeems like we were right
But you aGlways have a problem with everything
GAppreciate your advise but sometimes I have trouble managing
BmNow that I'm paying attention GI see how beautiful you are
F#But when you spend so much time together now everything can get so dark
[CHORUS]
Oh when you're goDne I'd miss you like I did when we were firEmst together
No one in this world could hGold me better
Just tell me when you're coBmming home
When you're gDone I'd miss you like you took a piece of Emme with you
Didn't think I'd care that mGuch, did ya?
Just tell me when you're coming Emhome
BmSeems like we were right
But tGoday I woke on the wrong side
I need silF#ence to keep me right
F#Otherwise the day won't be nice
I Bmwanna laugh with you again jGust like you are my best friends
F#But friends can always breathe
F#And we're too close, and too close is never easy
[CHORUS]
Oh when you're goDne I'd miss you like I did when we were firEmst together
No one in this world could hGold me better
Just tell me when you're coBmming home

Didn't think I'd care that mGuch, did ya?
Just tell me when you're coming Emhome
