[Verse]
B                 E
Where have you gone?

I walk in circles
F#               B
Back to square one
                E
Made it through yesterday
G
Spilling wine,

 thinking of the time
               E
I wrote you a melody
G                  F#
Rolling your eyes, I held
               B
your hand a while
              E
You need not say
anything to me
   G
I hear you loud
      F#
and clear

Loud and clear

Wait for the sun

Say hello, maybe
           B
it will come
You watched the
  E
 hummingbirds
G             F#7
Naming every one
B               E
Do you have a minute for me?
G
If you don’t mind,
  F#               B
 I’ll be stopping by
To count all the
  E
little black clouds
     Gmaj7
But, don’t you worry
F#7                 G F#7
Please don’t worry
