Intro: Dadd9/D Dadd9/D
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
Dadd9/D
It was a hell of a ride
G
Don’t need to say lets be friends
Don’t need to promise you’ll write
A7 A7/A
We rode that train through the night
A7 A7/A
And never cared where it went
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
Dadd9/D
We ran a whole other race
G
Two strangers meet on the road
And find their time and their place
A7
We never once had to lie
A
We’d passed the age of consent
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
D
I know its crazy out there
G
I hated sleeping around
D
I went out looking for love
A7
And never liked what I found
D
Don’t pay to make it alone
G
God knows it’s lonely out there
D
I made it once on my own
A7
And hardly anyone cared
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
D
Who you gonna run to baby
Who you gonna hide behind
G
When the nights get suddenly cold
Who’s gonna hold you
A7
Who’s gonna know Who will you go to?
D
Who you gonna call if it ain’t me
When your feeling lost and there’s nobody out there
G
Looking for you, What will you do?
A7
Where will you go?
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
Dadd9/D
You made it happen somehow
G
I think I gave up on life
But I feel better right now
A7
Something you said turned me round
Don’t even know what you meant
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
D
And at the end of the day
G
I hated sleeping alone
D
There’s nothing worse when you’re lost
A7
And you don’t wanna go home
D
Its gonna work out some way
G
I just don’t wanna be found
D
I’m waiting here round the bend
A7
And I’ll be hanging around
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
D
Who am I kidding I’m going nowhere
I can’t even get through an hour
G
Without you should be ashamed
A7
Just wanna hear you calling my name
D
Two of us missed connections
Guess we must have somehow missed something more
G
Cos we’re here alone
A7
I know we’re together but too far apart
D
To know how to get back home
D
Its time for saying goodbye
G
Cos if I stay for too long
D
You’d get to know me too well
A7
And find that something was wrong
D
The time is perfect to go
G
Before the curtain descends
D
Right now when both of us know
A7
That everything’s got to end
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
D
What’s it gonna come to baby
Who you gonna hide behind
G
When the nights get filled up with doom
Looking to run
A7 A
You run out of room
D
And will you be the one to save me
Doesn’t look like the future is clearing
G
Need you to hear me playing a tune
A7
When nobody hears me
A D
I end up playing to the moon
D
Its time for saying goodbye
G
Cos if I stay for too long
D
You’d get to know me too well
A7
And find that something was wrong
D
The time is perfect to go
G
Before the curtain descends
D
Right now when both of us know
A7
That everything’s got to end
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
Somehow we both made it through
G
I would have gave up on life
Before I gave up on you
A7
You went and turned me around
A
Could be was something you said
G
I couldn’t make out the sound
A7
I didn’t care what it meant
D G
If I don’t see you again
D G
If I don’t see you again
D Dadd9/D Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
Just a slight tweak on the previous version but, I think, just a little closed to
the album track on Home Before Dark. Enjoy ---- RV
