E(1), A(1), B(1) X2
[Verse 1]
[E(1)]You never expect it to be in your [A(1)]wildest dreams[B(1)]
[E(1)]So take a step backwards for a little while
You'll [A(1)]find it there[B(1)]
It's [A(1)]something that I[G#m] can't explain
So I re[B(2)]main trapped inside
Still [A(2)]holding strong
Still [G#m]holding on to [B(2)]you, [C#]to [D]you
[Cborus]
[E(2)]Take me back to [B(2)]you, it's been a long [A(2)]time
[B(2)]Although woh every [E(2)]night I think of [B(2)]you
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
[Cborus]
[E(2)]Take me back to [B(2)]you, it's been a long [A(2)]time
