Em You've been gone much longer than you Em Ever said you had the plan to Em I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home Em Though I count the days, they're grey without you Em The weather's much better when I think about you Am I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home Em Empty glasses, burnt out matches Em Curtains drawn on near-full blackness Em I'm sleeping through the day you're coming home Am To reclaim this hardship home Em Never leave me Em Make me burn Am You're coming back Em You're coming back Em I'll wait patiently Em For your return Am You're coming back Em You're coming back Em I'm clutching at straws Em I'm climbing up the walls Am But every time I fall Em Back into my hole Em I'm feeling like a wretch Em I'm looking for a catch Am But you're an itch I can't stratch Em I know you're coming back Em You've been gone so long you're fading Em And it takes all the time I can find just retaining Em Thoughts of what we did while you were here Am But I know you will return, my dear
