[VERSE]
C Dm7add11
Bound for trouble from the start
Fmaj7/C C
I've been walking through this old world in the dark
C Dm7add11
All along right by my side
Fmaj7/C C
There you were shining, my ray of light
[CHORUS]
C Dm7add11
I sing, lover come back, lover come back to me
Fmaj7/C C
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
C Dm7add11
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave?
Fmaj7/C C
Lover come back, lover come back to me
[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE]
C Dm7add11
I'll never be as good as I'd like to be
Fmaj7/C C
Eternally restless, refusing to believe
C
But I think that we missed our connection
Dm7add11
I wanted to feel your affection
Fmaj7/C C
Until my final days
[CHORUS]
C Dm7add11
I sing, lover come back, lover come back to me
Fmaj7/C C
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
C Dm7add11
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave?
Fmaj7/C C
Lover come back, lover come back to me
[BRIDGE]
Am Fmaj7/C
I am warm enough, yet I still shiver
Dm7add11 Fmaj7/C
I am fed but still I starve
Am Fmaj7/C
You know me, I am the great misgiver
Dm7add11 Fmaj7/C
Always waiting on the clouds to part
[CHORUS]
C Dm7add11
I sing, lover come back, lover come back to me
Fmaj7/C C
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
C Dm7add11
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave?
Fmaj7/C C
Lover come back, lover come back to me
C Dm7add11
I sing, lover come back, lover come back to me
Fmaj7/C C
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
C Dm7add11
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave?
Fmaj7/C C
Lover come back, lover come back to me
