[Verse 1]
        Fmaj7   G( Gsus4- G5)  
Lines on my head 
                    Fmaj7   G( Gsus4- G5) 
from that one thing she said
              Fmaj7   G( Gsus4- G5) 
She spoke of strangers 
                     Fmaj7   G( Gsus4- G5) 
that don't sleep two a bed
            Fmaj7   G( Gsus4- G5)
Kept on trying, buying time,
               Fmaj7   G( Gsus4- G5)
not waiting on fate
                Fmaj7   G( Gsus4- G5)
I somehow got the feeling 
Fmaj7that I opened my eyes too laGte
[Chorus]
                        CV-3-2
I saw where you came from
AmCalled out your name
But thGm11ere's no answer
                        CV-3-2
We lived on your doorstep
AmI made you my wife 
but Gm11I don't need that
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
Lines on my face,while I laugh lest I cry
Speed city dirt and gritty waving me goodbye
So many people,my family of friends
Trying so hard to make me smile untill this heartache mends
[Chorus]
(same chords)
I saw where you came from
called out your name
but there's no answer
We lived on your doorstep
I made you my wife but I don't need that
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
Ice in her eyes,frozen tears would never be a surprise
You can't erase a dream you can only wake me up
My mind is turning slower,never to accept defeat
It don't matter where I live I still got a house to heat
[Chorus]
I saw where you came from
called out your name
but there's no answer
We lived on your doorstep
I made you my wife but I don't need that
