Repeat Intro
E7 (4)
Told you baby one more time
Don't make me sit all alone and cry
B7 A7 E7 (2)
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
E7 (4)
I'm like a fish out of water, a cat in a tree
You don't even want to talk with me
B7 A7 E7 (2)
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Chorus:
E7 (4)
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
A7 (2)
I got a big chain around my neck
E7 (2)
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
B7 A7 E7 (2)
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
E7 (4)
See I got a candle and it burns so bright
In my window every night
B7 A7 E7 (2)
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
E7 (4)
You don't like to see me standing around
Feel like I been shot and didn't fall down
B7 A7 E7 (2)
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Chorus
Instrumental Chorus x2
E7 (4)
Turn on the trouble like you turn on a light
Went off and left me it just ain't right
B7 A7 E7 (2)
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
E7 (4)
Round every corner something I see
Bring me right back how it used to be
B7 A7 E7 (2)
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Chorus x2
B7 A7 E7 (2)
It's over I know it but I can't let go
B7 A7 E7 (2)
It's over I know it but I can't let go
B7 A7 E7 (2, ritard, hold 3rd beat of last measure)
It's over I know it but I can't let go
