             C#m                     E
You sent a photo out your window of Tokyo
 C#m                    E
Told me you were doing fine
             C#m                    E
You said the cherry blossoms were blooming
         B              F#m
And that I was on your mind
       C#m                                E
But I couldn’t make you out through the glitches
      C#m                    E
It’s how it always seems to go
      C#m                    E
So we say our goodbyes over messenger
        B          F#m
As the network overloads
          B           A
When the network overloads

Chorus:
           C#m              E
You’re my wanderer, little wanderer
B              F#m
Off across the sea
           A                E
You’re my wanderer, little wanderer
           B             F#m
Won’t you wander back to me
        C#m
Back to me

Always fall asleep when you’re waking
I count the hours on my hands
Doing the math to the time zone you’re at
Is an unseen part of the plan
But if you will be my bluebird returning
Then I will be your evergreen
Standing tall on your horizon
Guiding you home to me
Guiding you home to me

Chorus:
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer off across the sea
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer, won’t you wander back to me?
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer, how I wish that you could see
Little wanderer, little wanderer
How I need you back with me
Back with me

You sent a photo out your window of Paris
Of what you wish that I could see
But someone’s gotta be the lighthouse
And that someone’s gotta be me
And I hope your absence makes us grow fonder
I hope we always feel the same
When our eyes meet past security
We embrace in the baggage claim
When we kiss in the baggage claim

Chorus:
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer off across the sea
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer, won’t you wander back to me?
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer, how I wish that you could see
Little wanderer, little wanderer
How I need you back with me
Back with me
