Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]I'v[F#]e[G][A][D][G]
[D]been gone for so [A]long
And [D]how I missed you
[G]My heart was ach[D]ing for
[A]home[G]
And then one [D]night as I lay [A]down
Some[D]where far from you
[G]I dreamt that I hea[D]rd you call my [A]name

[Verse 2]
But my mind was playing games
[G]I knew right the[D]n that I'd return
[A]To whe[D]re I was before
[G]And I was so tir[D]ed of being awa[A]y
That I just couldn't stay any[G]more
What did I ever come [A]here [D]for?
[G]Oh, [A]no, no, no, no, [F#]no[G]
What did I ever [A]come here [D]for?

[Verse 3]
[G]I thought if I s[D]howed up in the nig[A]ht
[D]In my best dis[G]guise
There at your door[D]way in your
porch [A]light
That you would look into my [G]eyes
And you [D]would realize who [A]I am
Put your [D]arms around [G]me
You're gonna love [D]me so much [A]more
Than you ever did be[G]fore
What did I ever come [A]here [D]for?
[G]Oh, [A]no, no, no, no, [F#]no[G]
What did I ever come [A]here for?

[Interlude 1]
[D][Bm][D][Abdim][G]
[D][A]
[Bbdim][Bm][Asus4][D][G][E][A]
[C#dim][G]
It wasn't too [D]long before

[Verse 4]
[A]
I [D]showed up at your [G]door
I'd [D]been gone a thousand [A]miles
[G]I didn't kno[D]w how
much more [A]I could stand
If [D]I could stand at all
[G]You said I looked like I'd [D]been
through World War [A]Two
And my soul was worn right [G]through
I thought you would read [D]my mind
[A]I thought you[D]'d ask me to [G]stay
You'd [D]never turn me away
like be[A]fore
But you closed your door any[G]way
What did I ever [A]come here for?

[Verse 5]
[D]
[G]Oh, [A]no, no, no, no, [F#]no[G]
What did I ever [A]come here [D]for?
[G]Oh, [A]no, no, no, no, [F#]no[G]
What did I ever [A]come [D]here for?
Oh, no, [A]no, no, no, [F#]no[G]
What did I ever [A]come here for?
