[INTRO] E Emaj7 x2 A Amaj7 x2 [VERSE 1]
E                          C#m    Emaj7
You write a list of things to do

E                            C#m    Emaj7
To occupy the time that you could use

E                          C#m    Emaj7
But, in my mind it's never final

E                                C#m       Emaj7
And when you sleep, I try not to wake you as I leave
[PRE-CHORUS]
Dmaj7
Oh, I waited up for you

Em7
But you didn't come back home

Dmaj7
Oh, I waited up for you

Em7
Couldn't you come back home?
Dmaj7 Em7 Dmaj7 G6 [CHORUS]
F                Am
Someone gets run down

        F                          Am
Karaoke plays somewhere in the background,

                      F
But there is no explanation

                       Am
What makes a grown man cry?

         F
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down
E Emaj7 x2 A Amaj7 x2 [VERSE 2]
E                             C#m    Emaj7
We never did want the dawn to break

E                                  C#m    Emaj7
Beside the crumpled sheets in which we lay

E                            C#m     Emaj7
You know I've changed my ways forever

E                                 C#m     Emaj7
The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I
leave [PRE-CHORUS]
Dmaj7
Oh, I waited up for you

Em7
But you didn't come back home

Dmaj7
Oh, I waited up for you

Em7
Couldn't you come back home?
Dmaj7 Em7 Dmaj7 G6 [CHORUS]
F                Am
Someone gets run down

        F                          Am
Karaoke plays somewhere in the background,

                      F
But there is no explanation

                       Am
What makes a grown man cry?

         F                          A
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down
[BRIDGE] E Emaj7 x2 A Amaj7 x2
Emaj7
I came home--there were radio waves
I heard voices through the radio waves
Amaj7
I came home--you were nowhere to be found
The lights were on and the radio played
Emaj7
I came home--there were radio waves
A children's choir through the radio waves
Amaj7
Every night we've got so much to say
I want to hear all the things you did today Dmaj7 Em7 Dmaj7 G6 [CHORUS]
F                Am
Someone gets run down

        F                          Am
Karaoke plays somewhere in the background,

                      F
But there is no explanation

                       Am
What makes a grown man cry?

         F                          A
