Coming Back to You

written by Leonard Cohen


Intro: F.. ...|Dm.. ...|Bb.. Csus4..|F.. ...|F.. ...|

 F               Dm
Maybe I'm still hurting
   Bb       C            F
I can't turn the other cheek
          F                Dm
But you know that I still love you
      C        Bb        F
It's just that I can't speak
   Bb               F
I looked for you in everyone
          A                 Bb   C
And they called me on that too
   F      C/e     Dm    Am/c
I lived alone but I was only
 Bb     Csus4   F
Coming back to you

Ah they're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they're under lock and key
Though the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you
             Bb              F
And they're handing down my sentence now
        Bb      Csus4   F
And I know what I must do
  A              Bb
Another mile of silence while I'm
 G              C
Coming back to you
There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There's many that you'll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who've left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you

Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me
Comfort in the night
I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of
Coming back to you
