Brandi Carlile - What Did I Ever Come Here For: chords

G          D           A
I’ve been gone for so long
                  G
And how I missed you
             D           A
My heart was aching for home
G             D              A
And then one night as I lay down
                    G
Somewhere far from you
                 D                 A
I dreamt that I heard you call my name
                         G
But my mind was playing games

I knew right then that I’d return
To where I was before
And I was so tired of being away
That I just couldn’t stay anymore

Chorus:
                 A         D
What did I ever come here for?
A        F#     G
Oh no no no no no
                 A         D
What did I ever come here for?

I thought if I showed up in the night
In my best disguise
There at your doorway in your porch light
That you would look into my eyes

And you would realize who I am
Put your arms around me
You gonna love me so much more
Than you ever did before

Chorus

It wasn’t too long before
I showed up at your door
I’d been gone a thousand miles
I didn’t know how much more I could stand

If I could stand at all
You said I looked like
I’d been through World War II
And my soul was worn right through

I thought you would read my mind
I thought you’d ask me to stay
You'd never turn me away like before
But you closed your door anyway

Chorus

Oh no no no no no

Chorus
