Verse 1:
[C]I know you were needing[C/G] more of me than I gave
[C]When we heard that your cousin had[C/G] crashed and past away
[G]I hate it when I talk without thinking
I will do what you are needing me to do[C]
Chorus:
[Fmaj7]I want to be good to [C]you
[Fmaj7]I want to be there for [C]you
And when I come [G]home[F], will you still want me [C]too?
Verse 2:
[C]When your best friend got married,[C/G] I was off and gone
[C]You said it wasn't a problem that there was nothing wrong with[C/G][(3)]
[G]Putting my work, my art and my songs before spending time at the wedding
As [C]I listened over the phone line, he[C/G] talked and sounded so sad
[C]Alone in a room full of strangers, some dude saying I treat you bad, oh[C/G][(3)]
[G]Who is this guy and what does he know?
Apparently more than I [C]do.
Chorus:
[Fmaj7]I want to be good to [C]you
[Fmaj7]I want to be there for [C]you
And when I come [G]home[F], will you still want me [C]too?
And when I come [G]home[F], will you still want me [C]too?
Bridge:
[Fmaj7]When you were born I promised myself I'd always[C] be there for you
To[C/G] help you feel safe and never alone, no matter what life put you through
[Fmaj7]Time passed by, I lost my way, and didn't find it for y[C]ears
A[C/G] strong, young woman now stands in your place; the child has disappeared
Now that I'm hom[G]e, do you [F]still want me here?[C]
Chorus:
[Fmaj7]I want to be good to [C]you
[Fmaj7]I want to be there for [C]you
[Fmaj7]I want to be good to [C]you
And when I come [G]home[F], will you still want me [C]too?
And if I come [G]home[F], will you still want me [C]too?
