CAPO 4th FRET [Intro] G C x2 Em G/B C G A7 D G [Verse]
G
When I had you to myself,

  C
I didn't want you around;

Em/B   A7    Cadd9  G        A7       D    G
Those  pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd.

     G    
Then someone picked you from the bunch

    C
one glance was all it took

Em/B     A7       Cadd9    G      A7     D      G
Now it's much too late for me, to take a second look.
[Chorus]
    G  D/F#  Em      D        C   C/B   A7              D
    Oh baby, give me one more chance to show you that I love you,

    Em    G/B C      G      A7   D         G
    Won't you please let me back into your heart?

    G  D/F#     Em    D        C       C/B A7         D
    Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go, let you go baby,

        Em  G/B     C G     A7          D    G            C
    But now since I see you in his arms, I want you back
[Break]
G                C
 I want you back, ooh I do now,

G                C
 I want you back, ooh, ooh baby.

G                C
 I want you back, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

G                C
 I want you back, hey, hey, now, now.
[Verse]
G
Tryin' to live without your love, 

   C
is one long sleepless night,

Em/B   A7       Cadd9      G A7   D          G
Let me show you girl, that I know wrong from right.

G
Every street you walk on,

        C 
I leave tear stains on the ground,

Em/B          A7     Cadd9  G    A7   D G
Following the girl I didn't even want a-round.

C
 Let me tell you now
[Chorus]
    G  D/F#  Em      D        C   C/B   A7              D
    Oh baby, give me one more chance to show you that I love you,

    Em    G/B C      G      A7   D         G
    Won't you please let me back into your heart?

    G  D/F#     Em    D        C       C/B A7         D
    Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go, let you go baby,

        Em  G/B     C G     A7          D    G            C
    But now since I see you in his arms, I want you back
