 A-  G#m- E  
 F#m-  A- C#m  
AWhen I get back from a G#mlong flight
EYou said you'd meet me there
F#mI've been tripping off consteAllations and C#mstars
AFound you at home, what G#mwas our home
With another Eman, oh man
        F#m      ABeen keeping you in my C#mheart
AAnd so I whisper iG#mnto your ear
EWhat are you thinking 'bout?
        F#m      AYou just looked up at tC#mhe stars
AAnd so I whisper iG#mnto your ear
EWho are you thinking 'bout?
        F#m      AIt couldn't be C#mme
AAnd you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
EWithout the rivers to tend.
Because you reAmember our love was true,
But you just needed a C#mhand,
AAnd you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
EWithout yourself to defend.
You know you hAurt me so bad,
Just 'cause you needed a C#mhand.
AAnd I went off and saw things I've never seen,
EI really wanted you there.
But you rAuined what was love
Just 'cause you needed a C#mhand
Just cause you needed a hAand
AThis is the way that it G#mall falls.
EThis is how I feel, this is what I need
F#mYou, by me, right Ahere, by me,
Right C#mnow.
AAnd so I whisper iG#mnto your ear
EWhat are you thinking 'bout?
        F#m      AYou just looked up at tC#mhe stars
AAnd so I whisper iG#mnto your ear
EWho are you thinking 'bout?
        F#m      AIt couldn't be C#mme
AAnd you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
EWithout the rivers to tend.
Because you reAmember our love was true,
But you just needed a C#mhand,
AAnd you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
EWithout yourself to defend.
You know you hAurt me so bad,
Just 'cause you needed a C#mhand.
AAnd I went off and saw things I've never seen,
EI really wanted you there.
But you rAuined what was love
Just 'cause you needed a C#mhand
Just cause you needed a hAand
Just 'cause you needed a hand.

A G#m

When I get back from a long flight

You said you'd meet me there

F#m A C#m

I've been tripping off constellations and stars

A G#m

Found you at home, what was our home

With another man, oh man

F#m A C#m

Been keeping you in my heart

A G#m

And so I whisper into your ear

What are you thinking 'bout?

F#m A C#m

You just looked up at the stars

A G#m

And so I whisper into your ear

Who are you thinking 'bout?

F#m A C#m

It couldn't be me

And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,

Without the rivers to tend.

Because you remember our love was true,

C#m

But you just needed a hand,

And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,

Without yourself to defend.

You know you hurt me so bad,

C#m

Just 'cause you needed a hand.

And I went off and saw things I've never seen,

I really wanted you there.

But you ruined what was love

C#m

Just 'cause you needed a hand

Just cause you needed a hand

A G#m

This is the way that it all falls.

This is how I feel, this is what I need

F#m A

You, by me, right here, by me,

C#m

Right now.

A G#m

And so I whisper into your ear

What are you thinking 'bout?

F#m A C#m

You just looked up at the stars

A G#m

And so I whisper into your ear

Who are you thinking 'bout?

F#m A C#m

It couldn't be me

And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,

Without the rivers to tend.

Because you remember our love was true,

C#m

But you just needed a hand,

And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,

Without yourself to defend.

You know you hurt me so bad,

C#m

Just 'cause you needed a hand.

And I went off and saw things I've never seen,

I really wanted you there.

But you ruined what was love

C#m

Just 'cause you needed a hand

Just cause you needed a hand

Just 'cause you needed a hand.
