Will you back on my doorstep [D] of crying?
[A] Like I've cried through all those [E] lonely years.
But I [A] can't dry your tears, it's [D] been too long since [A] love has feared.
I've already gave you [E]
my better [A] years.
So the pages of time kept right [D] on turning.
They [A] never stopped for us to harvest [E] the years.
[A] And old embeds of love kept right [D] on dying.
[A] For there was no one [E] to dry up my [A]
tears.
Will you back on my [D] doorstep of crying?
Like [A] I've cried through all those [E] lonely years.
But [A] I can't dry your tears, it's been too [D] long since [A] love has feared.
And I've already gave you [E] my [A] better years.

[A] [F#] [A] But I'll try not to blame you, [D] and I'll try not to shame [A] you.
All I can do now is [E] wish you well.
[A] But if you should need a friend, I'll [D] be there till the [A] end.
Just don't ask me [E] to love you [A] again.
And don't come back on my doorstep [D] of crying.
For [A] before was been [E] dead so long.
[A] For the embers of love [D] turned to ashes.
There's [A] nothing here [E] but old memories [A] and this song.
[F#m] [A] And don't come back on [G#m] my [G] [D] doorstep of crying.
My [A] friend there's nothing [E] but old memories [Bm] and [E] this [Bm] song.
