Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

(unbarred) <--like this one. should be unbarred.

You are my only escape

(unbarred)<--and this one, etc...

You are the reason that I wait

On the corner of this empty street

Oh I just can't wait to meet

There's so much a man can do

 And there's so much a man can say

 See I have done so many things wrong

 That you should've thrown me away

Chorus

I've got this second chance

I'm gonna take it

I've got this song and dance

I'm gonna take it

I've got all that I need

And I can taste it

I've got you next to me

And I don't want to waste it

Verse 2

Same pattern with Verse 1)

You are my only embrace

You are the light that lights my face

And any fool would do the same

To follow in your trace

See people come and people go

And I know I should've been replaced, I know that

Repeat Chorus

I'm gonna take it

 All that I can get

 I'm gonna take it, ohh

Bridge

(all unbarred)

 It's beautiful the way you love

 The way you take me back

Here she comes around the bend

 She's coming to take me back

Repeat Chorus

Outro

You are my only escape

 You are the reason that I wait...
