[notes]
The bass plays a huge part in this song, implying most of the chords throughout the verse. If the chords don't sound right, that's why; because they ARE right! ;)

Ohhh Yeah

F C F
Let me tell you now
F C F C F C G F C
Oooh, oooh baby

[verse 1]

When I had you to myself

F
I didn't want you around

Am
Those pretty faces always

G F C F C
Make you stand out in a crowd

C
But someone picked you from the bunch

F
One look was all it took

Am
Now it's much too late for me

G F C F C
To take a second look

[chorus]
C F
Oh, baby give me one more chance

To show you that I love you

F C F C F C
Won't you please let me

G F C
Back in your heart

C F
And, oh darlin', I was blind to let you go

F C F C F C G
Now that I see you in his arms

F C
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back

[verse 2]
Trying to live without your love
Is just one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
And every street you walk on
I'll be kissing the ground
Following a girl
I didn't even want around

[repeat chorus]
[play intro]

Oh, baby
Oh, darling
Won't you give me
Just one more
Just one more

[repeat chorus]
