[Opening]
Going[G] back to the corner where [D]I first saw you,
Gonna[Am] camp in my sleeping bag, no I'm [C]not gonna move,
Got so[G]me words on cardboard got[D] your picture in my hand,
Saying[Am] if you see this girl can you tel[C]l her where I am,
Some try to[G] hand me money they don't[D] understand,
I'm not... b[Am]roke I'm just a broken hearted man,[C]
I know it ma[G]kes no sense, but what els[D]e can I do,
How c[Am]an I move on when I'm still in lo[C]ve with you...

[chorus]
'Cause if o[G]ne day you wake up and find that y[D]ou're missing me,
And your he[Am]art starts to wonder where on this earth[C] I could be,
Thinking [G]maybe you'd come back here to the [D]place that we'd meet,
And you'd s[Am]ee me waiting for you on the corn[C]er of the street.

If s[Am]he changes her mind this is the f[C]irst place she will go.

'Cause if o[G]ne day you wake up and find that y[D]ou're missing me,
And your he[Am]art starts to wonder where on this earth[C] I could be,

But a big [Cmaj7]hole in his [D6]world..[D].
Hm[Am]mmm [Asus2]
