[F#] [G]
[D] [G] I've [D] been gone for so [A] long
[D] And how I missed [G] you
My heart [D] was aching [A] for home
[G] And then [D] one night as I [A] lay down
[D] Somewhere far [G] from you.
I dreamt that I had to [A] call my name
But my mind was [G] playing games.
I knew right [D] then that [A] I'd return
[D] To where I [G] was before
And I was [D] so tired of being [A] away
That I just couldn't [G] stay anymore
What did I ever [A] come here [D] for?
[A]
What [G] did I ever [D] come here for?
[G] I [D] thought if I showed up [A] in the night
In my [G] best disguise
There was a doorway in your [A] porch light
That you would look into [G] my eyes
And [D] you would realize who [A] I am
[D] Put your arms around [G] me
You're gonna love me so [A] much more
Than you ever [G] did before
What did I ever come [D] here for?

[G] It [D] wasn't too long [A] before I [D] showed up at your [G] door
I've been going a thousand [A] miles
I didn't know [D] how much more I could stand
[D] If I could stand at [G] all
You said it looked like [D] I'd been through World [A] War II
And my soul was worn [G] right through
I thought you [D] would read my [A] mind
I thought [D] you'd ask me to [G] stay
You [D] never turned me away [A] like before
But you closed your door [G] anyway
What did I ever come [D] here for?
