But I came back again.


           F#m
I love you so, 
                 Bm 
I'm the one who wants you, 
                      E
Yes I'm the one who wants you,
 D  E   D  E 
Oh oh, Oh oh.


   Am              C/G           Fmaj7
Oh you could find better things to do,
          E              A  (riff 2)  
Than to break my heart again
      Am          C/G             Fmaj7
This time I will  try to show that I'm
      E           A  (riff 2)
Not trying to pretend.


Bm                        C#m
I thought that you would realise,
          F#m
That if I ran away from you,
     B7
That you would want me too,
    Bm             E
but I got a big surprise
D  E   D  E
Oh oh, Oh oh


   Am              C/G           Fmaj7
Oh you could find better things to do,
          E              A  (riff 2)  
Than to break my heart again
      Am          C/G             Fmaj7
This time I will  try to show that I'm
      E           A  (riff 2)
Not trying to pretend.


        F#m
I wanna go, 
               Bm 
But I hate to leave you, 
                     E
You know I hate to leave you,
 D  E   D  E 
Oh oh, Oh oh.


   Am           C/G                Fmaj7
Oh you, if you break my heart I'll go,
     E             A  (riff 1 and fade)
But I'll be back again.
