[Eb] Uh-huh, huh, huh,
[Ab] huh
Let me tell ya now

VERSE 1:
[Eb] When I had you to myself, I
[Ab] didn't want you around
Those
[Cm] pretty faces
[Ab] always made you
[Fm7] stand out in a
[Eb] crowd
But
[Eb] someone picked you from the bunch, one
[Ab] glance was all it took
[Cm] Now it's much too
[Ab] late for me to take a
[Fm7] second look a-
[Eb]-round
CHORUS:
[Eb] Oh baby give me one more
[Ab] chance
(show you that I love you)
[Cm] Won't you
[Ab] please
[Fm7] let me
[Eb] (back in your heart)
[Eb] Oh darlin' I was glad to let you
[Ab] go
(let you go baby)
[Cm] But now
[Ab] since I
[Fm7] see you
[Eb] in his arms
(I want you back)
INTERLUDE:
[Eb] Yes I do now
(I want you back)
[Eb] Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
[Eb] Ya ya ya ya
(I want you back)
[Eb] Na na na na
VERSE 2:
[Eb] Tryin' to live without your love, is
[Ab] one long sleepless night
[Cm] Let me show you
[Ab] girl, that I
[Fm7] know wrong from
[Eb] right
[Eb] Every street you walk on, I leave
[Ab] tearstains on the ground
[Cm] Following the
[Ab] girl, I didn't
[Fm7] even want a-
[Eb]-round
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
