[E(1)]You never expect it to be in your [A(1)]wildest dreams[B(1)]

[Chorus]

[E(2)]Take me back to [B(2)]you, it's been a long [A(2)]time

It's such a lonely [A(2)]life[B(2)]

[Verse 2]

[E(1)]I watched you wave goodbye as you [A(1)]drove away[B(1)]
[E(1)]I didn't know that it would be your last [A(1)]time with me[B(1)]
[A(1)]You said - life ain't worth living if [G#m]nobody cared
You [B(2)]said that all the time, oh
I [A(2)]take a step back and see your [G#m]staring eyes
[B(2)]I see you on the [C#]day you [D]died

[Chorus]

[E(2)]Take me back to [B(2)]you, it's been a long [A(2)]time
