[Verse 1]
Eb             Ebmaj7
  Darlin' I, I can't explain
                 Eb7
Where did we lose   our way
          Ab               Ab/Bb
Girl it's drivin' me insane
      Eb
And I know I just need one more chance
   Ebmaj7
To prove my love to you
           Eb7
And if you come back to me
I'll guarantee
         Ab                Ab/Bb
That I'll  never let you go

[Chorus]
       Eb             Bbm7     Eb      Ab       Ab/Bb
Can we go back to the days our love was  strong?
        Eb            Bbm7    Eb       Ab      Ab/Bb
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes  wrong?
             Eb             Bbm7       Eb
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
    Ab                 Dbadd9
The way they use to be?
   Gm         Cm     Fm7     Fmadd9/Bb              Db Ebsus4 Fm7 Cm
Oh God give me  a reason I'm down     on bended knee

[Pre-Verse]
Bbm7     Ebsus4    Eb Db  Ebsus4  Fm7              Cm

And I know I don't need to be alone
       Eb
When I open up my eyes
   Ebmaj7
To face  reality
      Eb7
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
    Ab
I'm begging you,
            Ab/Bb
begging you come back to me
