Amaj7 A7 D C#7 F#m7 B E7
[Verse 1]
Amaj7 A7 D Dm
I waited 'til I saw the sun
F#m B E7 A
I don't know why I didn't come
Amaj7 A7 D Dm
I left you by the house of fun
F#m7 B E7 A
I don't know why I didn't come
F#m7 B E7 A
I don't know why I didn't come
Amaj7 A7 D Dm
When I saw the break of day
F#m B E7 A
I wished that I could fly away
Amaj7 A7 D Dm
Instead of kneeling in the sand
F#m7 B E7 A
Catching tear-drops in my hand
[Chorus]
F#m7 B E
My heart is drenched in wine
F#m7 B E D C#m E
But you'll be on my mind for-ev- er
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 A7 D Dm
Out across the endless sea
F#m B E7 A
I will die in ecstasy
Amaj7 A7 D Dm
But I'll be a bag of bones
F#m7 B E7 A
Driving down the road alone
[Chorus]
F#m7 B E
My heart is drenched in wine
F#m7 B E D C#m E
But you'll be on my mind for-ev- er

[Verse 3]
Amaj7 A7 D Dm
Something has to make you run
F#m B E7 A
I don't know why I didn't come
Amaj7 A7 D Dm
I feel as empty as a drum
F#m7 B E7 A
I don't know why I didn't come
F#m7 B E7 A
I don't know why I didn't come
F#m7 B E7 A
I don't know why I didn't come
