[Verse 1]
D G
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around;
Bm D/F# G D Em7 A7 D
Those pretty faces always made you, stand out in a crowd.
D G
Then someone picked you from the bunch; one glance was all it took;
Bm D/F# G D Em7 A7 D (WALK UP)
Now it's much too late for me, to take a second look.
[Chorus 1]
Oh Baby, Won’t

D A/C# Bm A G G/F# Em7 A
Oh baby, give me one more chance,
Bm D/F# G D Em7 A
Won't you please let me, back in your heart
D A/C# Bm A G G/F# Em7 A
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go,
Bm D/F# G D Em A D
Now that I’ve seen you in his arms...
[Verse 2]
D G
Tryin' to live without your love, is one long sleepless night,
Bm D/F# G D Em7 A7 D
Let me show you girl, that I know wrong from right.
D G
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground,
Bm D/F# G D Em7 A7 D
Follow-ing the girl, I didn't even want a-round. Let me tell you now;
[Chorus 2]
D A/C# Bm A G G/F# Em7 A
Oh baby, give me one more chance,
Bm D/F# G D Em7 A
Won't you please let me, back in your heart
D A/C# Bm A G G/F# Em7 A
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go,
Bm D/F# G D Em A D
Now that I’ve seen you in his arms...
