Capo 2
       G E F G C
Intro: , , , , 
F         C            G
I’ve been gone for so long
           C      F
And how I missed you
             C          G
My heart was aching for home
F             C              G
And then one night as I lay down
          C         F
Somewhere far from you
                C               G
I dreamt that I heard you call my name
                 F
But my mind was playing games
         C                G
I knew right then that I’d return
           C       F
To where I was before
              C       G
And I was so tired of being away
                C            F
That I just couldn’t stay anymore
                 G          C
What did I ever come here for?
G        E     F
Oh no no no no no
                G          C
What did I ever come here for?
F                C                G
I thought if I showed up in the night
        C      F
In my best disguise
                           C        G
There at your doorway in your porch light
                      C      F
That you would look into my eye              
                      C     G
And you would realize who I am
                C     F
Put your arms around me
                   C       G
You gonna love me so much more
                    F
Than you ever did before
                G         C
What did I ever come here for?
G     E        F
Oh no no no no no
                G         C
What did I ever come here for?
F             C      G
It wasn’t too long before
             C      F
I showed up at your door
          C              G
I’d been gone a thousand miles
F              C                    G
I didn’t know how much more I could stand
           C         F
If I could stand at all
                           C                      G
You said I looked like I’d been through World War II
                 C         F
And my soul was worn right through
                          C  G
I thought you would read my mind
                     C     F
I thought you’d ask me to stay
                     C         G
You'd never turn me away like before
                    C     F
But you closed your door anyway
                G         C
What did I ever come here for?
G     E        F
Oh no no no no no
                G         C
What did I ever come here for?
G     E        F
Oh no no no no no
                G         C
What did I ever come here for?
G     E        F
Oh no no no no no
                G         C
What did I ever come here for?
