(Note: This is a very basic version of what's on the CD -  
On the CD, there is some nice fingerpicking - nothing that 
is too hard, as fingerpicking goes, it's just a matter 
of learning how to fingerpick...) 
 
Verse 1: 
D5                   F#5 
Kiss me baby on the curb 
G5                         D5 
Throw your arms around my waist 
D5                          F#5 
Send me off with your sweet words 
G5                                 D5 
Say a little prayer, show a little faith 
G5               G5 
These boots are broken in 
     E5 
From always leaving you 
A5 
 This road takes a lot of turns 
 
Each one leads me back to you, but 
 

D5          F#5             G5 
 If you're here when I get back 
                     D5 
Will you open up the door 
D5          F#5             G5 
 If you're here when I get back 
                        E5 
Will you pull me to the floor 
                      G5       A5 
Will you kiss me like before? 
                   D5          G5 
I couldn't ask for more 
                   D5          G5 
I couldn't ask for more  
 
Verse 2: 

I know you hate to sleep alone 

I feel strangers closing in 

I wanna crawl right through this phone 

And feel the softness of your skin 

I feel so helpless and  

These walls are creeping close 

In this here hotel room 

Tonight I'm sleeping with your ghost, but 
 
Chorus: 

If you're here when I get back 

Will you put my fears to rest? 

If you're here when I get back 

Lay your head upon my chest 

With nothing to confess 

Aw, baby, please say yes 

Aw, baby, please say yes 
 
Interlude: 
D5 
(walkdown and back up twice - just listen 

to the song if you need to hear it and play  

essentially the same lick as the intro, except 

don't go to 
G5 , just stay in D5 ) 
 

Verse 3: 

If I stay away too long 

And somebody takes my place 

Whenever sad boys sing their songs 

I'll hear your voice, I'll see your face 

And if the morning light we never share 

You know you're there, each and every single prayer, but 
 
Chorus: 

If you're here when I get back 

We'll put all that aside 

If you're here when I get back 

Will you open your arms wide? 

Will you let me come inside? 

I'd be so satisfied 

I'd be so satisfied 
               D5        G5 
I'd be so satisfied 
               D5        G5 
I'd be so satisfied
