[Intro]
G Em C G

[Verse 1]
G Em
Maybe I’m still hurting
C G
I can’t turn the other cheek
Em
But you know that I still love you
D G
It’s just that I can’t speak
C G
I looked for you in everyone
B7 C
And they called me on that too
G Em
I lived alone but I was only
C G
Coming back to you

[Verse 2]
G Em
They’re shutting down the factory now
D G
Just when all the bills are due
Em
And the fields they’re under lock and key
D G
Tho’ the rain and the sun come through
C G
And springtime starts but then it stops
B7 C
In the name of something new
G Em
And all the senses rise against this
C G
Coming back to you

[Bridge]
C G
They’re handing down my sentence now
C G
And I know what I must do
B7 C
Another mile of silence while I’m
A D7
Coming back to you

[Verse 3]
G Em
There are many in your life
C G
And many still to be
Em
Since you are a shining light
D G
There’s many that you’ll see
C G
But I have to deal with envy
Bm C
When you choose the precious few
G Em
Who’ve left their pride on the other side of
C G
Coming back to you

[Guitar Solo]
C G C G B7
C A D

[Verse 4]
G Em
Even in your arms I know
C G
I’ll never get it right
Em
Even when you bend to give me
D G
Comfort in the night
C G
I’ve got to have your word on this
B7 C
Or none of it is true
G Em D
And all I’ve said was just instead of
C G
Coming back to you

[Outro]
