F#m7
I'll never know why I had to go

F#m7                       E
Why I had to put up such a lousy rotten show

F#m7
Boy, I was tough, packing all my stuff

F#m7                       E
Saying I don't need you anymore, I've had enough
[Pre-chorus 1]
    A    B7         E              C#m         A B
And now, look at me standing here again 'cause I found out that

G#m
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma

Gm                            F#m7
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, - my life is here

Gotta have you near
[Chorus 1]
   E               B
As good as new, my love for you

    E                              B
And keeping it that way is my intention

   E               A
As good as new and growing too

Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension

B7      E               B
It's as good as new, my love for you

     E                           B
Just like it used to be and even better

   E                  A
As good as new, thank God it's true

F#m7
Feel like a creep, never felt so cheap

F#m7                       E
Never had a notion that my love could be so deep

F#m7
How could I make such a dumb mistake

F#m7                        E
Now I know I'm not entitled to another break
[Pre-chorus 2]
    A       B       E             C#m   B     A B

Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma

Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, - my life is here
