[Primeira Estrofe]

A7M         A7     D7M  C#7
I waited till I saw the sun
F#m7        B7   D/E     A
I don't know why I didn't come
A          A7     D7M    C#7
I left you by the house of fun
F#m7        B7   D/E     A
I don't know why I didn't come... I
F#m7      B7   D/E     A
Don't know why I didn't come

[Segunda Estrofe]

A7M         A7     D7M  C#7
When I saw the break of day
F#m7        B7   D/E     A
I wished that I could fly away
A7M         A7     D7M  C#7
Instead of kneeling in the sand
F#m7          B7   D/E     A
Catching teardrops in my hand

[Refrão]

F#m7          B7          E
My heart is drenched in wine
F#m7      B7    E              E/G#
But you'll be on my mind       ...forever

[Terceira Parte]

A7M         A7     D7M  C#7
Out across the endless sea
F#m7      B7   D/E     A
I would die in esctasy
A7M         A7     D7M  C#7
But I'll be a bag of bones
F#m7      B7   D/E     A
Driving down the road alone

[Refrão]

F#m7          B7          E
My heart is drenched in wine
F#m7      B7    E              E/G#
But you'll be on my mind       ...forever

[Quarta Estrofe]

A7M         A7     D7M  C#7
Something has to make you run
F#m7      B7   D/E    A
I don't know why I didn't come
A7M         A7     D7M  C#7
I feel as empty as a drum
F#m7      B7   D/E    A
I don't know why I didn't come 
F#m7      B7   D/E    A
I don't know why I didn't come 
F#m7      B7   D/E    A
I don't know why I didn't come
