Repeat verse formula for the last verse, then proceed to chorus once more.

   C               Am
I walked down the road
     G      C
in front of me
         Am       G         C
just to see where it would lead.
    C         Am
I walked for days,
    F         C
turned into years,
    Am  
still my path
    G        C
stood so unclear.

      C       Am
And when the road
  G         C
came to an end
       Am
there stood
 G       C
a lonely man
   C              Am
I looked into his eyes
 F           C
saw the deeper side

      Am     G     C
of a life I once had had.
C    G   Am  F
Lover, come back.
 C      G              C
Lover, come on back to me.

   C      Am   G             C
I saw a bird sitting next to me
    Am         G    C
She had one broken wing.
C            Am         F       C
I asked her why all my love is blind,
             Am   G    C
and she died so quietly.

C    G  Am   F
Lover, come back.
 C      G              Am
Lover, come on back to me.

C    G  Am   F
Lover, come back.
 C      G              C
Lover, come on back to me.
