Intro:  Dadd9/D        Dadd9/D

            D            Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again
                         Dadd9/D
It was a hell of a ride
               G
Don’t need to say lets be friends
Don’t need to promise you’ll write

               A7                     A7/A
We rode that train through the night
            A7                A7/A
And never cared where it went
            D              Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again


            Dadd9/D  
If I don’t see you again
           Dadd9/D
We ran a whole other race
               G
Two strangers meet on the road
And find their time and their place 
          A7
We never once had to lie
                 A
We’d passed the age of consent
            D             Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again


             D
I know its crazy out there
          G
I hated sleeping around
            D             
I went out looking for love
           A7
And never liked what I found
              D
Don’t pay to make it alone
                G
God knows it’s lonely out there
          D           
I made it once on my own
           A7
And hardly anyone cared
            D            Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again

D       
Who you gonna run to baby
Who you gonna hide behind
                     G
When the nights get suddenly cold
Who’s gonna hold you 
A7
Who’s gonna know Who will you go to?
D
Who you gonna call if it ain’t me
When your feeling lost and there’s nobody out there
G
Looking for you, What will you do?
A7
Where will you go?
            D            Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again


          Dadd9/D         
If I don’t see you again
          Dadd9/D
You made it happen somehow
           G
I think I gave up on life
But I feel better right now
               A7
Something you said turned me round
Don’t even know what you meant
            D            Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again


           D
And at the end of the day
          G
I hated sleeping alone
                 D
There’s nothing worse when you’re lost
               A7
And you don’t wanna go home
           D
Its gonna work out some way
              G
I just don’t wanna be found
             D
I’m waiting here round the bend
             A7
And I’ll be hanging around
            D            Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again


D
Who am I kidding I’m going nowhere
I can’t even get through an hour
              G
Without you should be ashamed
                     A7
Just wanna hear you calling my name
D
Two of us missed connections
Guess we must have somehow missed something more


     G
Cos we’re here alone
                           A7
I know we’re together but too far apart
                         D
To know how to get back home


              D
Its time for saying goodbye
           G
Cos if I stay for too long
               D
You’d get to know me too well
               A7
And find that something was wrong
             D
The time is perfect to go
            G
Before the curtain descends
                D
Right now when both of us know
             A7
That everything’s got to end
            D            Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again


                 D
What’s it gonna come to baby
Who you gonna hide behind
                     G
When the nights get filled up with doom
Looking to run
     A7             A
You run out of room
     D
And will you be the one to save me
Doesn’t look like the future is clearing
G
Need you to hear me playing a tune
      A7
When nobody hears me
           A              D
I end up playing to the moon


              D
Its time for saying goodbye
           G
Cos if I stay for too long
               D
You’d get to know me too well
               A7
And find that something was wrong
             D
The time is perfect to go

            G
Before the curtain descends
                D
Right now when both of us know
                   A7
That everything’s got to end
            D            Dadd9/D
If I don’t see you again


            D            Dadd9/D  
If I don’t see you again
Somehow we both made it through
              G
I would have gave up on life
Before I gave up on you
              A7
You went and turned me around
              A
Could be was something you said
                G
I couldn’t make out the sound
          A7
I didn’t care what it meant
                     D        G
If I don’t see you again
                     D        G
If I don’t see you again
                D         Dadd9/D         Dadd9/D  
If  I don’t see you again

Just a slight tweak on the previous version but, I think, just a little closed to
the album track on Home Before Dark.  Enjoy ---- RV
