Capo 2nd Fret (to match original recording)

Intro: (A) (E/A) (A) (E/B) (D) (E/D) (A/E) (Esus4)

I was so (A) careless, I left you (E/A) all al(A)one
When I was (D) running the (A/D) streets (D) and (A/C#) carrying (E) on
You were so (A) patient, you never (E/A) said a (A) word
You tried to (D) hide all your (A/D) tears (D) and (A/C#) bury the (E) hurt
I was (Bm7) such a fool, I didn't (F#m) figure it out
Till I (D) came home last night to an (A/E) empty (E) house

  (A) I didn't know it was this (E/A) lonely al(A)one (E/G#)
  (F#m7) I didn't know the nights could (E/F#) be so (F#m7) long (E)
  When (D) someone you (A/D) need (D) so (A/E) desperatel(E)y is (A) gone (E/A) (A) (E7sus4)
  (A) I didn't know how bad the (E/A) hurt could (A) be (E/G#)
  (F#m7) It took you walking out to (E/F#) make me (F#m7) see
  (E) Baby, (D) please come (A/D) home
  I (D) didn't (A/E) know it was this (E) lonely al(A)one

(A) (E/A) (A) (Esus4) 

It's only midnight but baby with you gone
It's forever since sundown and forever till dawn
And as I lie here looking at myself
It's hitting me hard how you must have felt
I'm sorry, I hurt you and I'm sorry, you cried
And I'd give anything if I could hold you tonight

(Repeat Chorus)
