For you to knock at my door

        
 Aadd9/

But the knock never came

	 Badd11
and no ring


 E	   
 Aadd9/
 E
At all....

			
 E
And now I sit and wonder why

    
 Aadd9/
 E 	  Badd11
You made that first call

All the way way from America

		    	   Badd11
I don't believe I'll stay here


 E			 	
 Aadd9/

I don't think I want to wait here anymore


 Aadd9/
 E 			Badd11
And if you search for me baby

Better bring some more love than you declared
