 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,
Give me one,
     C6
More chance,
   Am7
To show you,

That I love you,
Em     G/B
 Won't you,
Cmaj7   G   Am9
 Please let me...
D7            G
 Back in your heart?

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

Break:

G (n.C)
 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
 Let me show,
    C    G
You girl,
     Am7    D7
That I know wrong,
     G
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
I didn't even,
D7      G
 Want a-round,
(Let me tell you now);

Chorus 2:

 Oh baby,
Give me one,

 Won't you,
Cmaj7   G   Am9
 Please let me...
D7            G
 Back in your heart?

G
 Oh darlin',
I was blind,
   C          Am7
To let you go,
    Em  G/B   Cmaj7
But now since I,

I want you back,
Hey, hey, now, now.

 Oh just one,
     C
More chance,

That I love you;
Em    G/B
 Baby,
Cmaj7  G
 Baby,
Am9    D7  G
 Baby!

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

G
 Oh darlin',
I was blind,
   C          Am7
To let you go,
    Em  G/B   Cmaj7
But now since I,

 Spare me,
Of the cost,
Give back,
What I lost.
