F Dm
Maybe I'm still hurting
Bb C F
I can't turn the other cheek
F Dm
But you know that I still love you
C Bb F
It's just that I can't speak
Bb F
I looked for you in everyone
A Bb C
And they called me on that too
F C/e Dm Am/c
I lived alone but I was only
Bb Csus4 F
Coming back to you
Ah they're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they're under lock and key
Though the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you
Bb F
And they're handing down my sentence now
Bb Csus4 F
And I know what I must do
A Bb
Another mile of silence while I'm
G C
Coming back to you
There are many in your life And many still to be Since you are a shining light There's many that you'll see But I have to deal with envy When you choose the precious few Who've left their pride on the other side of Coming back to you Even in your arms I know I'll never get it right Even when you bend to give me Comfort in the night I've got to have your word on this Or none of it is true And all I've said was just instead of Coming back to you
