 When I had you to myself,

I didn't want you around,
      Em     G/B
Those pretty faces,
C       G
 Always made you;
Am7        D7   G
 Stand out in a crowd.

     G
Then someone,
Picked you from the bunch,
    C
One glance was all it took;
Em        G/B
 Now it's much,
    C        G
Too late for me,
   Am7    D7     G
To take a second look.

Chorus 1:

G
 Oh baby,
                 C6
Give me one more chance,
   Am7             D9
To show you that I love you.
Em     G/B Cmaj7  G   Am9
 Won't you please let me...
D7            G
 Back in your heart?

G
 Oh darlin',
               C          Am7
I was blind to let you go,
    Em  G/B   Cmaj7
But now since I,
G    Am9 D7     G
 See you in his arms;

Break:

 I want you back,
Ooh I do now,
I want you back,
Ooh, ooh baby.
I want you back,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
I want you back,
Hey, hey, now, now.

Verse 2:

G
 Tryin' to live,
Without your love,
   C
Is one long sleepless night,
Em      G/B      C    G
 Let me show you girl,
     Am7    D7         G
That I know wrong from right.

G
 Every street you walk on,
        C
I leave tearstains,
On the ground,
Em      G/B     C     G
 Follow-ing the girl,
         Am7  D7     G
I didn't even want a-round.
(Let me tell you now);

 Oh baby,

 Won't you please let me...
D7            G
 Back in your heart?

G
 Oh darlin',
               C          Am7
I was blind to let you go,

To show you that I love you;

 Baby!

    G
For-get what happened then,
Let me live again.
