[Verse 1]
  GThe commander is calling homBme to tell the news
It isn't Cgood, I am afraid to sayCm  
Today's thCe day you have been Gdreading for so many yearsBm  
Its almost lCike you have been saving up the CmtearsC  
Remembering the Gwords
You to Bmme, are encCased in nothing but bEmeauty Dand gracious loveG  
You'll always Bmbe my one good rCeason to keep on mEmoving 'til I'm Din your arms
[Chorus]
  CMy favorite plEmace is Dwherever you Care
But EmI don't Dknow where you are
G Bm C Cm C
[Verse 2]
  GNow this ugly point of view    Bmkeeps creeping up to say
Its Call his fault you feel this wayCm  
But that wCon't help and its not Gright to think that anywayBm  
Well, god damn, why did this Chave to happen anyway?Cm  C  
Why'd you have to Gleave across the Bmsea?
Where I can't reCach you and hold you, proEmtect you tDhe way I neeGd
You'll always Bmbe my one good rCeason to keep on Emmoving 'til DI'm in your armsC  
[Chorus]
  CMy favorite plEmace is Dwherever you Care, but EmI don't Dknow where you Care
  CMy favorite plEmace is Dwherever you Care, but EmI don't Dknow where you Emare
Em D C
I don't know Emwhe---Dre you Care
I don't know Emwhe---Dre you Care
[Bridge]
Now this Emcrack beneath thDe ocean floor, it Ccalls it way up to me
And when I sEmleep I don't Dknow why
But it suggCests I should come find it
So when I Emwake I don't Dknow where I am
I Cfumble all around into the dEmark
And in an Dawful moment I Crealize I've lost you
I keep Emthinking that you're Dhiding somewhere Conly I can see
But I Emwake to find Dyou nowhere and I'm Ctearing at my sheets
I keep Emthinking you're Dhiding somewhere Conly I can see
But I Emwake to find Dyou nowhere and I'm Ctearing at my sheets
[Outro]
I don't know Emwhe---Dre you Care
I don't know Emwhe---Dre you Care
