Song:

[Intro]

E(1), A(1), B(1) X2

[Verse 1]

E(1)                              A(1)            B(1)
You never expect it to be in your wildest dreams
E(1)
So take a step backwards for a little while
       A(1)           B(1)
You'll find it there
     A(1)            G#m 
It's something that I can't explain
       B(2)
So I remain trapped inside
      A(2)
Still holding strong
      G#m           B(2) C# D
Still holding on to you, to you

[Chorus]

E(2)            B(2)                  A(2)
Take me back to you, it's been a long time
B(2)               E(2)             B(2)
Although woh every night I think of you
                   A(2)             B(2)
It's such a lonely life

[Verse 2]

E(1)                              A(1)        B(1) 
I watched you wave goodbye as you drove away
E(1)                                     A(1)          B(1)
I didn't know that it would be your last time with me
           A(1)                       G#m
You said - life ain't worth living if nobody cared
    B(2)                      
You said that all the time, oh
  A(2)                          G#m
I take a step back and see your staring eyes
B(2)             C#      D
I see you on the day you died

[Chorus]

E(2)            B(2)                  A(2)
Take me back to you, it's been a long time
B(2)               E(2)             B(2)
Although woh every night I think of you
                   A(2)             B(2)
It's such a lonely life             Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Oh
E(2)            B(2)  
Take me back to you 
A(2)            B(2)
take me back to you

E(2), B(2), A(2), B(2)
E(3), B(3), A(3), B(3) B(3)

[Chorus]

E(2)            B(2)                  A(2)
Take me back to you, it's been a long time
B(2)               E(2)             B(2)
Although woh every night I think of you
                   A(2)             B(2)
It's such a lonely life             Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Oh
E(2)            B(2)  
Take me back to you 
A(2)            B(2)
take me back to you

A(2)             B(2)
                 Wowwoowooo

E(2)             B(2)
     
A(2)            B(2)    E(2)
Take me back to Love
