(intro) C  D  E F  G#  A G  E  D  C  G  E  D  C D  Eb  D  C 
                (sl)               (bend) 
(no chord)  Dm 
You're back again 
  F	    G7 	       C  
I knew that you'd come crawlin' 
         dm 
Standin' there,  
      F         G7    C 
you still look like a dream 
           Am 
But I'm reminded of the many times we've played this 
game before 
         F                        
And I swear I can't believe that you keep comin' back 
for more 
      D 
But you wore out the welcome mat last time you slammed 
the door 
F             C         G7           
Ya can't come back this time 
 

C              E		F             C 
While you were gone I had some time to think about 
    F	    C	   G7 
The way you did me wrong 
C	       E     F	      C 
Misery and heartache I can do without 
F                 C 
Lost your hold on me 
G7	       C 
While you were gone
 
 
 
(no chord)     Dm 
You rolled the dice 
F	      G7       C 
And lost this heart of mine 
		   Dm 
But you'll pay the price 
     F	   G7	    C 
Somewhere along the line 
am 
If you keep burnin' bridges, breakin' hearts and 
slammin' doors 
F 
'Tryin' to find a way to fill the emptiness of yours 
	 D 
You're gonna find it comes around to what you did 
before 
     F		 C       G7       
Your world came crashin' in 
 
CHORUS
