[Verse 1]
N.C. G
Well, you said goodbye
A D
And good luck in your Dear John letter
G
And I thought I'd die
A D
'Cuz I thought we were carved in stone
G A D
And it made me cry as I walked through the clear, cold weather
Bm G
And then I dried my eyes
A D
And I tried livin' all alone
[Verse 2]
D G
Well, the clouds piled high
A D
And the snow didn't make things better
G
As the time crawled by
A D
I went down through a dark ordeal
G
Then to my surprise there blew
A D
A breeze from the springtime heather
Bm G
Hey as it breathed on me
A D
I could feel how my heart could heal
[Chorus]
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
Just when ev'rything's better
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
Just when ev'rything's great
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
But I've got it together
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
But it's a little too late
[Bridge]
G
Count up the seasons
D
Count up the months
A D
Count up the days you've been gone
G D
I was a grievin' fool for you once
Em A
But now you've been gone for too long
[Verse 3]
G
And you just drop by
A D
On a night with a full moon shining
G
And you just say "hi"
A D
And you ask if I'm by myself
G A D
Well, you might think I'm still the same fool you left here pining
Bm G
Hey, but I'm a brand new guy
A D
And I suggest you go somewhere else
[Chorus]
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
Just when ev'rything's better
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
Just when ev'rything's great
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
But I've got it together
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
But it's a little too late
[Outro]
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
Just when ev'rything's better
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
Just when ev'rything's great
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
But I've got it together
Bm G
Now you come back
A D
But it's a little too late
