Standard (EADGBE)

You've been gone much longer than you

Ever said you had the plan to

I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home

Though I count the days, they're grey without you

The weather's much better when I think about you

I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home

Empty glasses, burnt out matches

Curtains drawn on near-full blackness

I'm sleeping through the day you're coming home

To reclaim this hardship home

Never leave me

Make me burn

You're coming back

You're coming back

I'll wait patiently

For your return

You're coming back

You're coming back

I'm clutching at straws

I'm climbing up the walls

But every time I fall

Back into my hole

I'm feeling like a wretch

I'm looking for a catch

But you're an itch I can't stratch

I know you're coming back

You've been gone so long you're fading

And it takes all the time I can find just retaining

Thoughts of what we did while you were here

But I know you will return, my dear
