C
Hey Jack I better shake it off
 G 
Put her out of my head
 Am
Thinking I balled just another
young girl last night
     G                G7 F# F
Oh brother! I left a woman   in that morning bed
G
Been on that trip so many times
 Am      G       F                G#
Good god! Was it really yesterday?

I've tried so many, many, many, many, many
Many ways
I've lied and taken off into the day
Leaving another girl to
Weep over the breakfast tray
Loved her before I knew her name
Hit me! Jack, 'cause I'm
Gone! love her way

Chorus:
     G     F    G  F
   (Come back, my babe)
   Come back, my babe
       G
   Be holy again, I gave her
   Am
   (I gave her)
   Ooh, maybe, maybe
 G 
   (Ooh maybe)
                    Am
   Gotta give her, ooh baby, baby
   That kind of love
   Can only destroy, I gave her
   (I gave her)
   Ooh maybe, maybe
   (Ooh maybe)
   Get it down if I'm gonna be her baby, 'cause
    G         G  F  G C
   Gonna be me
   (It's gonna be me)

There was no rein to check me
When all tho-ose little things walked on by
Oh! but I couldn't feel this, stammer out a word
When that angel stuck in my mind
Oo, oo, oo, oo
Lookin' for love won't hold me back
No!
I'm gonna love her way

Chorus

C
Just playing that latest record
Waiting for the telephone to ring
Wiped out and bitter with a bag clutched in her hand
All the cars sound like they're pulling in the drive
 G#
Hmmm, no, no, no

C
I see her now
A little tear running down her cheek
 F 
Lost, let down
 G#
People looking for me

C
I want to race down her street
And knock hard, hard, hard on the door until
   F 
Until she breaks down into my arms like a
G#                   D#
Treasured toy and I feel her pain
I'll be so strong, again and again

Chorus
