Am
   I've lied and taken off into the day
  G                         Gb F
   Leaving another girl to weep over the breakfast tray

[Alternate Verse]
C
   Just playing that latest record

   Waiting for the telephone to ring

   Wiped out and bitter with a bag clutched in her hand
C6
   All the cars sound like they're pulling in the drive
   Ab
   Hmmm, no, no, no

C
   I see her now
C6
   A little tear running down her cheek
F/C
   Lost, let down
 Ab
   People looking for me

C
   I want to race down her street
         C6
   And knock hard, hard, hard on the door until
  F/C
   Until she breaks down into my arms like a
 Ab                    Eb
   Treasured toy and I feel her pain
N.C.
   I'll be so strong, again and again

[Chorus/Outro]
   G    F/G  G  Fmaj9
   Come back my baby
                       G
   I'll hold you again, I'll take you
   Am
   (I'll take you)
   Ooh, baby, baby, baby
G/B                   Am
   (Ooh baby)                (Ooh baby)
   We're gonna have, ooh baby, baby

   G  F/G  G  Fmaj9
   My kind of love
                      G
   Can only bring you joy, I'm gonna
   Am
   (I'm gonna)
   Yeah, baby
G/B           Am                     G
       (Ooh baby)            (Ooh baby)
   Yeah, I'll give you baby, baby
                    Eb
  'Cause it's gonna be me

   Db      C
   Hmmmm
