[Verse 1]
D           F#m                         D7           
Darlin I, I can't explain, where did we lose our way,
           G             A  
girl, it’s drivin’ me insane
      D                               
And I know I just need one more chance
   F#m                           D7             
to prove my love to you, if you come back to me,
                       G            A  
I guarantee that I'll never let you go.


[Chorus]
        D             D7              G         A
Can we go back to the days our love was strong ?
        D             D7              G       A
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
             D              D7                  G                Gm  
Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way they used to be ?
   F#m       Bm   Em         A                   C
Oh God, give me a reason I'm down on bended knee.

[Verse 2]
D                F#m                   D7              
So many nights I dream of you, holding my pillow tight,
             G                  A    
I know that I don't need to be alone.
       D                  F#m          
When I open up my eyes to face reality,
      D7                                     
every moment without you seems like eternity,
    G                          A                
I'm begging you, begging you : come back to me !


[Chorus]
        D             D7              G         A
Can we go back to the days our love was strong ?
        D             D7              G       A
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
             D               D7                 G                Gm  
Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way they used to be ?
   F#m       Bm   Em         A                   C
Oh God, give me a reason I'm down on bended knee.

[Verse 3]
  D             
Baby, I’m sorry,
F#m                                          
please forgive me for all the wrong I’ve done
                                D7                              
Please come back home girl, I know you put all your trust in me,
        G                                 A    
I’m sorry, I let you down, please, forgive me !
                 Bm                A            
(sung : ) Gonna swallow my pride, say I'm sorry,
G                          A              
stop pointing fingers, the blame is on me.
   Bm                    F#m              
I want a new life, and I want it with you,
       G              A                    Bm
if you feel the same, don't ever let it go.
                         F#m            
You gotta believe in the spirit of love,
       G                         F#m          
it can heal all things, we won't hurt anymore.
G                      Em              
No I don't believe our love's terminal,
    A                
I'm down on my knees,
(song moves up half a note to capo 2nd here)
A                        D    
begging you please, come home.


[Chorus]
        D             D7              G         A
Can we go back to the days our love was strong ?
        D             D7              G       A
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
             D              D7                  G                Gm  
Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way they used to be ?
   F#m       Bm   Em         A                   C
Oh God, give me a reason I'm down on bended knee.
