If Id Only Come And Gone

                     Bb
If I'd only come and gone
Bb                            C              F
The way I've always done with summer girls before
F          Bb                 C                 F
Shared one night with you and never reached for more
F       C                                   C
Then we wouldn't face this long and painful righting of the wrong

If I'd just come and gone


Second Verse


                      Bb
If I hadn't stayed so long
Bb                         C                  F
And merely parked my dusty boots outside your door
F          Bb                     C                 F
Tracked no footprints 'cross your polished hardwood floor
F           C                                C
If I'd have left you in your doorway smilin' drowsy at the dawn
            F
If I'd just come and gone


Third Verse


F           Bb                        F
Then I'd be on a shinin' silver plane dippin' into Denver
F    Bb                                 F
Or a schooner blowin' down The Biscayne Bay
F        Bb             C             F
You'd be safely tucked away among the pleasure I'd remember

'Stead of lyin' here beside me fearin' restless thoughts inside me

That might awaken with the breakin' of each new day


Fourth Verse


                         Bb
If you'd only stopped to read
Bb                          C             F
Cold hard words I carved on other bedroom walls
F             Bb             C                 F
And heard the mornin' coffee truths I told 'em all
F            C
I'd still be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song

You'd never have loved me if I'd just come and gone


Outro


            F
If I'd just come and gone
F                    Bb
If I'd only come and gone
Bb                   C
If I'd only come and gone
C                    F
If I'd only come and gone...
