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.
