Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Keyboard arr. for guitar:
Chorus
Working my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
[keyboard riff]
I let it get away
[keyboard riff]
Been payin' every day
Verse 1
When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
But how I cried over losin' you
See me cryin' now, but I ain't about to go
Livin' my life without you
For every day I made you cry
I'm payin', girl, 'til the day that I die
[repeat chorus]
Verse 2
I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
But if I'd been a man in reality
You'd still be here, babe, lovin' me
Now the nights are long and lonely
And I ain't through strugglin', I just miss you so
And you're too proud you won't give in
But when I think about all I can win
[repeat chorus; replace last measure of last keyboard riff with Bb7]
Coda [repeat to fade]:
Working my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died, oh how I cried
