(Cappo on 8th Fret)
Em
You've been gone much longer than you
Em
Ever said you had the plan to
Em
I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home

Em
Though I count the days, they're grey without you
Em
The weather's much better when I think about you
Am
I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home

Em
Empty glasses, burnt out matches
Em
Curtains drawn on near-full blackness
Em
I'm sleeping through the day you're coming home
Am
To reclaim this hardship home

Em
Never leave me
Em
Make me burn
             Am
You're coming back
             Em
You're coming back
Em
I'll wait patiently
Em
For your return
             Am
You're coming back
             Em
You're coming back

                 Em
I'm clutching at straws
                   Em
I'm climbing up the walls
                 Am
But every time I fall
             Em
Back into my hole
                   Em
I'm feeling like a wretch
                  Em
I'm looking for a catch
                           Am
But you're an itch I can't stratch
                     Em
I know you're coming back

Em
You've been gone so long you're fading
Em
And it takes all the time I can find just retaining
Em
Thoughts of what we did while you were here
      Am
But I know you will return, my dear
