(Note: This is a very basic version of what's on the CD -
On the CD, there is some nice fingerpicking - nothing that
is too hard, as fingerpicking goes, it's just a matter
of learning how to fingerpick...)
Verse 1:
D F#m
Kiss me baby on the curb
G D
Throw your arms around my waist
D F#m
Send me off with your sweet words
G D
Say a little prayer, show a little faith
G G/F#
These boots are broken in
Em
A
This road takes a lot of turns
Each one leads me back to you, but
Chorus:
D F#m G
If you're here when I get back
D
Will you open up the door
D F#m G
If you're here when I get back
Em
Will you pull me to the floor
G A
Will you kiss me like before?
D G
I couldn't ask for more
D G
I couldn't ask for more
Verse 2:
I know you hate to sleep alone
I feel strangers closing in
I wanna crawl right through this phone
And feel the softness of your skin
I feel so helpless and
These walls are creeping close
In this here hotel room
Tonight I'm sleeping with your ghost, but
Chorus:
If you're here when I get back
Will you put my fears to rest?
If you're here when I get back
Lay your head upon my chest
With nothing to confess
Aw, baby, please say yes
Aw, baby, please say yes
Interlude:
D (walkdown and back up twice - just listen
to the song if you need to hear it and play
essentially the same lick as the intro, except
don't go to G, just stay in D)
Verse 3:
If I stay away too long
And somebody takes my place
Whenever sad boys sing their songs
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your face
And if the morning light we never share
You know you're there, each and every single prayer, but
Chorus:
If you're here when I get back
We'll put all that aside
If you're here when I get back
Will you open your arms wide?
Will you let me come inside?
I'd be so satisfied
I'd be so satisfied
D G
I'd be so satisfied
D G
I'd be so satisfied
