B+ `D7sus4
I wait - ed til__ I saw the sun.__ I don't know why___ I did - n't come
I left you by__ the house of fun. I don't know why__ I did - n't come.
I don't know why_ I did - n't come.
When I saw___ the break of day. I wished that I____ could fly___ a - way
'stead of kneel - ing in_ the sand cath - ing tear _ drops in my hand._
My heart is___ drenced in_________ wine,
D5/c
but you'll be___ on___ my_____ mind for - ev - er.______
Out a - cross the end - less sea, I would die____ in ec - sta - sy.
But I'll be_____ a bag___ of bones driv - ing down____ the road___ a - lone.
My heart___ is drenched in_________ wine,
but you'll be___ on____ my______ mind for - ev - er.______
INTERLUDE
Some - thing has__ to make_ you run.__ I don't know why__ I did - n't come
I feel as emp - ty as____ a drum
I don't know why_____ I did - n't come,__ I don't know why_____
I did - n't come.___ I__________ don't know why__ I did - n't come.____
