[Verse I]
[Am7]Woke up this morning [Em7]found a letter that she wrote
[Dm7]She said she's tired that [Dm7]I'm always on the road
[Am7]To hard to swallow be[Em7]ing alone
[Dm7]She needs someone at night[Dm7] that she can hold
She must have told me a thousand times before
[Dm7]Silent cries I use to ig[Dm7]nore
[Am7]God knows I love her
[Em7]Didn't mean to hurt her, [Dm7]ooohh
[Chorus]
Baby I'll [Am7]be
[Em7]Sitting here waiting on [Dm7]you to come home again
I won't [Am7]leave
[Em7]Promise I'll be here [Dm7]to the very end
By your [Am7]side
[Em7]To protect you and to love you and to [Dm7]be with you for life
Come on [F]home to [C4]me [Bm7] [Am7] [Bm7]Char[Am7]lene
[Verse II]
[Am7]She knows I really love [Em7]this old music thang
[Dm7]Since I was a child [Dm7]it's been my dream
[Am7]I can support her [Em7]treat her and spoil her
[Dm7]You know buy her the [Dm7]finer things
[Am7]But I forgot about [Em7]loving her
[Dm7]Damn the money, [Dm7]diamonds and pearls
[Am7]What about the hard day she [Em7]had with the baby
[Dm7]All she need is [Dm7]for me to love her
[Chorus]
Baby I'll [Am7]be
[Em7]Sitting here waiting on [Dm7]you to come home again
I won't [Am7]leave
[Em7]Promise I'll be here [Dm7]to the very end
By your [Am7]side
[Em7]To protect you and to love you and to [Dm7]be with you for life
Come on [F]home to [C4]me [Bm7] [Am7] [Bm7]Char[Am7]lene
[Bridge]
Ooooh[Am7]
Promise I can't live without her[A11]
God knows I need her loving[Am7]
And it hurts so [A11]bad that's she gone away[F]
I [A11]pray that she'll [Dm7]come back one day
In my [F]life
[Chorus]
Baby I'll [Am7]be
[Em7]Sitting here waiting on [Dm7]you to come home again
I won't [Am7]leave
[Em7]Promise I'll be here [Dm7]to the very end
By your [Am7]side
[Em7]To protect you and to love you and to [Dm7]be with you for life
Come on [F]home to [C4]me [Bm7] [Am7] [Bm7]Char[Am7]lene
Oh oh [Am7]oh[Em7]
Some[Dm7]times I cry[Am7]
[Em7]Charlene if you're liste[Dm7]ning would you call on me[Am7]
Because my [Em7]heart is aching [Dm7]
[Am7] [Em7] [Dm7]
