[Intro] G C D G x2 [Verse 1]
G                                        C
  You come home late and you come home early

D                                       G
  You come on big when you're feeling small

G                                            C
  You come home straight and you come home curly

D                                   G
  Sometimes you don't come home at all
[Chorus]
G                             C
  So what in the world's come over you

D                                     G
  And what in heaven's name have you done

[Verse 2]
G7                                        C
   Well, I got a heart that burns with a fever

D                                    G
  And I got a worried and a jealous mind

G                                      C
  Well, how can a love that'll last forever

D                   G
  Get left so far behind
[Chorus]
G7                          C
   What in the world's come over you

D                                     G
  And what in heaven's name have you done

G7                                          C
   You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

G7                                      C
   It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow

D                               G
  It's crossed the evil line today

G                               C
  Well, how can you ask about tomorrow

D                                G
  When we ain't got one word to say
[Chorus]
G                             C
  So what in the world's come over you

D                                     G
  And what in heaven's name have you done

G7                                          C
