            Em7  A         D 
    Looking back over my shoulder 
    Em7              A          D           
    I can see that look in your eye 
    Em7             A           D          
    I never dreamed it could be over 
    Em7            A           D            
    I never wanted to say goodbye 

            Em7  A         D                 
    Looking back over my shoulder 
    Em7             A          D            
    With an aching deep in my heart 
    Em7             A            D         
    I wish that we were starting over 
    Em7                    A         D       
    Oh instead of drifting so far apart 

    C     G    F                 G           
    Everybody told me you were leaving 
    C     G        F               G        
    Funny I should be the last to know 
    C      G     F                  G 
    Baby please tell me that I'm dreaming 
    Am                           Bb        
    I just never want to let you go 

            Em7  A          D                 
    Looking back over my shoulder 
    Em7              A          D          
    I can see that look in your eye 
    Em7              A        D            
    Turning my heart over and over 
    Em7                A       D            
    I never wanted to say goodbye 

    C        G     F         G               
    I don't mind everybody laughing 
    C         G         F                G            
    But it's enough to make a grown man cry 
    C          G            F                 G 
    Cos I can feel you slipping through my fingers 
    Am                            Bb 
    I don't even know the reason why 


  Whistle:  (Em7     A    D )       

    C      G           F     G          
    Every day it's a losing battle 
    C         G         F              G       
    Just to smile and hold my head up high 
    C         G       F            G 
    Could it be that we belong together 
    Am                               Bb  C G Am F 
    Baby won't you give me one more try 
    G 
    One more try 

            Em7  A         D                 
    Looking back over my shoulder 
    Em7             A            D          
    I can see that look in your eye 
    Em7             A           D          
    I never dreamed it could be over 
    Em7            A           D  
    I never wanted to say goodbye 

            Em7  A          D                 
    Looking back over my shoulder 
    Em7                A         D            
    Oh with an aching feeling inside 
    Em7              A        D 
    Cutting me up, deeper an deeper 
    Em7                       A           D 
    Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide
