Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

Since you've been gone, I feel my life slipping away.

I look to the sky, and everything is turning gray.

All I made was one mistake, how much more will I have to pay.

Chorus

W/why can't you think it over. Why can't you forget about the past?

When love makes a sound babe, a heart needs a second chance.

Don't put me down babe, can't you see I love you.

Since you've been gone I've been in a trance.

This heart needs a second chance.

Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye.

Verse 2

(lead-in: )

So this is love, standing in the pouring rain.

I've called on you. 'Cause she never meant a thing.

And I know I ain't got the right to ask you to sympathize. But ...

Chorus

Bridge

(lead-in: )

I never loved her. I never needed her.

She was willing and that's all there is to say.

Don't forsake me, please don't leave me now.

A heart needs a second chance.

Instrumental

FINAL VERSE/CHORUS:

Please forgive me and forget it. I was wrong and I admit it.

Why can't we talk it over, why can't we forget about,

forget about the past. A heart needs a second chance.

When love makes a sound babe, a heart needs a second chance.

Don't put me down babe. Since you've been gone,

I've been in a trance. This heart needs a second chance.

Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye.

REPEAT AND FADE: (lead-in: E)

A heart needs a second chance. When love makes a sound babe.
