[Verse 1]
                  D
I went to your house
                Bm7
I stood on your porch
                        D
I looked in your window and
                  Bm7
I knocked on your door

                          D
I walked through your hallway
                       Bm7
like I’d been there before
                D
I ran into your brother
                    Bm7
writing a book report

[Prechorus 1]
             D
and I am not family
                 Bm7
but I sat at the table
               D
and I tried to answer
               Bm7
what I was not able

[Chorus]
                    D
like, where did you go, dear?
             Bm7
why’d you go there
             D
are you out playing your twelve string
          Bm7
with no strings and no one to hear

               D
and who do you know now?
        Bm7
has it been a year?
              D                  Bm7
these are the things I would ask you if only you could be here
                  D Bm7 D Bm7
you should be here

[Verse 2]
               D
I went to your job
                 Bm7
I picked up your paycheck
                  D
I thought I might cash it
                    Bm7
I thought you would like that

              D
I bought some cigarettes
              Bm7
the brand you liked best
              D
I turned off all the lights
            Bm7
I left them on your desk

                     D
because you were not wealthy
                       Bm7
but you had nothing to lose
                    D
and I thought that maybe
                  Bm7
I’d pretend to be you

[Chorus]
              D
where did you go, dear?
                 Bm7
why’d you go there
             D
are you out playing your twelve string
                    Bm7
with no strings and no one to hear

               D
and who do you know now?
               Bm7
has it been a year?
             D
what could I do to convince you that
Bm7
maybe you should be here
                  D Bm7 D Bm7
you should be here

[Verse 3]
                  D
I went to your house
                Bm7
I stood on your porch
                        D
I looked in your window and
                  Bm7
I knocked on your door

                          D

                       Bm7
