You're back again
F G7 C
I knew that you'd come crawlin'
dm
Standin' there,
F G7 C
you still look like a dream
Am
But I'm reminded of the many times we've played this
game before
F
And I swear I can't believe that you keep comin' back
for more
D
But you wore out the welcome mat last time you slammed
the door
F C G7
Ya can't come back this time
C E F C
While you were gone I had some time to think about
F C G7
The way you did me wrong
C E F C
Misery and heartache I can do without
F C
Lost your hold on me
G7 C
While you were gone
(no chord) Dm
You rolled the dice
F G7 C
And lost this heart of mine
Dm
But you'll pay the price
F G7 C
Somewhere along the line
am
If you keep burnin' bridges, breakin' hearts and
slammin' doors
F
'Tryin' to find a way to fill the emptiness of yours
D
You're gonna find it comes around to what you did
before
F C G7
Your world came crashin' in
CHORUS
