Dm                   A#
Take me back to the place where I
 F                      A#
Loved that girl for all time
Dm                  A#
Why must life just take away
F                          A#
Every good thing one at a time?

Chorus:
  A#
I want it back, well, yes, I want it back
              Dm
Well, yes, I want you back, please, give it me back
          A#
'Cause I want you, love

How can I not even cry
For such a big thing in my life?
The pain, it takes the heart of me
To turn around and say goodbye

Chorus

Dm
How did you do it, females?
C
'Cause always you do it, angels
G                          A#
You always keep me on the run
So how did you do it, angels?
And always you do it, females
You always keep me on the run

Chorus:
I want it back, well, yes, I, I want it back
Yes, I want you back, please, give it me back
'Cause I want you, love
But I can't let myself love you
