What Did I Ever Come Here For

	  		 
 

Intro: G, E, F, G, C 



F         C            G 
I’ve been gone for so long 
           C      F 
And how I missed you 
             C          G    
My heart was aching for home 
F             C              G 
And then one night as I lay down 
          C         F 
Somewhere far from you 
                C               G 
I dreamt that I heard you call my name 
                 F 
But my mind was playing games 
         
         C                G 
I knew right then that I’d return 
           C       F 
To where I was before 
              C       G 
And I was so tired of being away 
                C            F 
That I just couldn’t stay anymore 
                 G          C 
What did I ever come here for? 
G        E     F 
Oh no no no no no 
                G          C 
What did I ever come here for? 



F                C                G 
I thought if I showed up in the night 
        C      F 
In my best disguise 
                           C        G 
There at your doorway in your porch light 
                      C      F 
That you would look into my eye               
                      C     G 
And you would realize who I am 
                C     F 
Put your arms around me 
                   C       G 
You gonna love me so much more 
                    F 
Than you ever did before 
                G         C 
What did I ever come here for? 
G     E        F 
Oh no no no no no 
                G         C 
What did I ever come here for? 



F             C      G 
It wasn’t too long before 
             C      F 
I showed up at your door 
          C              G 
I’d been gone a thousand miles 
F              C                    G 
I didn’t know how much more I could stand 
           C         F 
If I could stand at all 
                           C                      G 
You said I looked like I’d been through World War II 
                 C         F 
And my soul was worn right through 
                          C  G 
I thought you would read my mind 
                     C     F 
I thought you’d ask me to stay 
                     C         G 
You'd never turn me away like before 
                    C     F 
But you closed your door anyway 
                G         C 
What did I ever come here for? 
G     E        F 
Oh no no no no no 
                G         C 
What did I ever come here for? 
G     E        F 
Oh no no no no no 
                G         C 
What did I ever come here for? 
G     E        F 
Oh no no no no no 
                G         C 
What did I ever come here for?
