Song: If I'd Only Come & Gone

First Verse

If I'd only comeBb and gone
BbThe way I've always done Cwith summer girFls before
FShared one Bbnight with you and Cnever reached for Fmore
FThen we Cwouldn't face this long and paiCnful righting of the wrong

If I'd just come and gone

Second Verse

If I hadn't stayeBbd so long
BbAnd merely parked my dusty Cboots outside your Fdoor
FTracked no Bbfootprints 'cross Cyour polished hardFwood floor
FIf I'd Chave left you in your doorway smiClin' drowsy at the dawn
If I'd Fjust come and gone

Third Verse

FThen I'Bbd be on a shinin' silFver plane dippin' into Denver
FOr a Bbschooner blowin' down The BiscFayne Bay
FYou'Bbd be safely tucCked away amongF 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

If you'd only stoppeBbd to read
BbCold hard words I carved on Cother bedroom Fwalls
FAnd heard the Bbmornin' coCffee truths I toldF 'em all
FI'd stilCl be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song

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

Outro

If I'd Fjust come and gone
FIf I'd only comeBb and gone
BbIf I'd only comeC and gone
CIf I'd only comeF and gone...
