  			  G            C                     Em           C      Am   D   G 
Uh Uh , ô ô ô ô ô ô ,  Let me tell ya now,   Uh Uh 

 G                           C 
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around 
       Em           C              Am        D      G 
Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd 
                                            C 
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance is all it took 
Em                 C             Am     D       G 
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look 

G        Em               C 
Oh baby, give me one more chance 
     Am 
(To show you that I love you) 
Em         C         Am  D 
Won't you please let me back in your heart 
G          Em              C 
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go 
 Am 
(Let you go, baby) 
    Em        C         Am  D      G 
But now since I've seen you in his arms 

G 
(I want you back) 
Oh I do now 
(I want you back) 
Ooh ooh baby 
(I want you back) 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah 
(I want you back) 
Na na na na 

G                                       C 
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepness night 
Em               C         Am       D          G 
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right 
                             C 
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground 
Em             C            Am    D     G 
Following the girl I didn't even want around 

Let me tell ya now 

G        Em            C 
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance 
     Am 
(To show you that I love you) 
Em         C         Am  D   G 
Won't you please let me back in your heart 
G          Em             C 
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go 
  Am 
(Let you go, baby) 
    Em        C         Am  D        G 
But now since I've seen you in his arms 

G 
Pu Pu Pu Pu 
All I want... 
Pu Pu Pu Pu 
All I need.. 
Pu Pu Pu Pu. 
All I want! 
Pu Pu Pu Pu 
All I need! 

G                  C 
Oh, just one more chance 
Am 
To show you that I love you 
Em           C           Am    D    G 
(Baby) baby (baby) baby (baby) baby! 

G 
(I want you back) 
Forget what happened then 
(I want you back) 
And let me live again! 

G        Em             C           Am 
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go 
    Em        C        Am  D   G 
But now since I've seen you in his arms 

(I want you back) 
Spare me of this cost 
(I want you back) 
Give me back what I lost! 

G       Em                C 
Oh baby, I need one more chance, hah 
     Am 
I'd show you that I love you 
Em        C         Am     D 
Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh! 

G                           C   Em  C   Am   D   G 
    I want you back!
