[Verse 1]
G                       
When I had you to myself
  C                     
I didn't want you around
      Em     Bm    C      G        Am        D    G    
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
    G                                
But someone picked you from the bunch
    C                     
One glance was all it took
Em       Bm       C        G     Am     D      G   
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

[Chorus]
G  D/F#  Em      D        C     C/B  Am              D        
Oh baby, give me one more chance    (show you that I love you)
Em    Bm  C      G   Am  D  G                 
Won't you please let me   (back in your heart)
G  D/F#    Em    D        C        C/B  Am         D    
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go   (let you go baby)
    Em  Bm    C G   Am  D      G                     
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
G                             
Yes I do now (I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby (I want you back)
Ya ya ya ya  (I want you back)
Na na na na

[Verse 2]
G                               
Tryin' to live without your love
   C                       
Is one long sleepless night
Em     Bm           C
Let me show you girl
     Am     D          G    
That I know wrong from right
G                       
Every street you walk on
  C                             
I leave tearstains on the ground
Em   Bm       C   G
Following the girl
         Am   D     G                         
I didn't even want around, let me tell you now

[Chorus]
G  D/F#  Em    D       C        C/B     Am              D        
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance (show you that I love you)
Em    Bm  C      G   Am  D   G                  
Won't you please let me     (back to your heart)
G  D/F#    Em    D        C       C/B   Am         D    
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go   (let you go baby)
    Em  Bm    C G              G  D   C  G  
But now since I see you in his arms,  Uh-huh
