[Intro]
            
First I was af

trified
              
Kept thinking 

          
I could never 

              
live without y

   
ou by my side
            
But I spent so

              
 many nights t

        
hinking how yo

u did me wrong
             
I grew strong,

           
 I learned how

 to get along

[Verse]
              
And so you're 

            
back from oute

  
r space
              
I just walked 

          
in to find you

              
 here with tha

      
t sad look upo

n your face

uld have made 

you leave your

 key
