Intro: A     D    A    D    G    E7    

A           D               A                D 
Here  I am again mama , I'm knockin' on your door 
        A           D                   A           D 
If you let me in I swear I won't be the way I was before 
                    A                   D         
Don't you know that I've been thinkin' about what you told me 
A                D 
Rollin' it over in my mind 
    A           D 
And much to my surprise I find that you were... 
  
(Chorus) 
A          D 
Absolutely right 
            G          C 
You've been right all along          
       B7         E7               A        D    G   D   A   
You're absolutely right and I was wrong (fill 1) 
A            D 
Second time around should be easy 
A              D                    A 
Break down the walls between me and you  
          D              A        D 
So we can see completely how easy love can be 
  A                   D 
I know it was you who said that you'd believe 
          A                       D 
If I came crawlin' back to you upon my knees and you were...(to Chorus) 
A  D   G                   E7 
Ah - I wish that you could see 
A  D     G             E7 
Ah - how bad I want to be 
A  D                    G                    E7 
Ah - the kind of man to whom you'd give your key (fill 2) 
A       D                   A                D        
If you let me in and if the moon comes up on time 
            A              D                 A                  D 
We could be sittin' by the fire this evening drinkin' home made wine 
       A                   D 
We can laugh and dance and sing and play 
A        D 
Love the night away 

'Cause you were...  (to Chorus)
