D Bm7 D Bm7
[Verse 1]
D
I went to your house
Bm7
I stood on your porch
D
I looked in your window and
Bm7
I knocked on your door
D
I walked through your hallway
Bm7
like I’d been there before
D
I ran into your brother
Bm7
writing a book report
[Prechorus 1]
D
and I am not family
Bm7
but I sat at the table
D
and I tried to answer
Bm7
what I was not able
[Chorus]
D
like, where did you go, dear?
Bm7
why’d you go there
D
are you out playing your twelve string
Bm7
with no strings and no one to hear
D
and who do you know now?
Bm7
has it been a year?
D Bm7
these are the things I would ask you if only you could be here
D Bm7 D Bm7
you should be here
[Verse 2]
D
I went to your job
Bm7
I picked up your paycheck
D
I thought I might cash it
Bm7
I thought you would like that
D
I bought some cigarettes
Bm7
the brand you liked best
D
I turned off all the lights
Bm7
I left them on your desk
D
because you were not wealthy
Bm7
but you had nothing to lose
D
and I thought that maybe
Bm7
I’d pretend to be you
[Chorus]
D
where did you go, dear?
Bm7
why’d you go there
D
are you out playing your twelve string
Bm7
with no strings and no one to hear
D
and who do you know now?
Bm7
has it been a year?
D
what could I do to convince you that
Bm7
maybe you should be here
D Bm7 D Bm7
you should be here
[Verse 3]
D
