  			Intro: F#m Bm E A F#m E F# 

Gm7      Cm7               F 
I was as wrong as I could be 
           Bb/D          Eb 
To let you get away from me 
        Bb/D 
I'll regret that move 
       Ab7+            F G Em  
For as long as I'm livin' 
                  Am7                 D7 
But now that I've come to see the light 
D/C         Bm7                C7+ 
All I wanna do is make things right 
         Bm7 
So just say the word 
    D4(7/9)                D 
And tell me that I'm forgiven 
Bb7+ 
You and me 
      Am7       Gm7   Em7/5-         F 
We're gonna be better than we were before 
    C9                G/B 
I loved you then but now I intend 
   F#m4/7       B4            E9/7+ E7+ E9/7+ E7+ 
To open up and love you even more 
     Ebm             Ab 
This time you can be sure 

Chorus: 

      Fm               Bbm7 
I'm never gonna let you go 
           Eb             Eb/C#    Cm7 
I'm gonna hold you in  my arms forever 
      Db7+                         G7 
Gonna try and make up for all the times 
            C 
I hurt you so 
C4/7 D4(7/9)  F#m                 Bm7 
Go-o-onna-a-a hold your body close to mine 
              E              E/D  C#m7 
From this day on we're gonna be together

I'm never gonna let you go 
Gm7          Cm7               F 
Looking back now  It seems so clear 
         Bb/D              Eb 
I had it all when you were here 
       Bb/D                    
Oh you gave it all 
      Ab7+              F G Em  
And I took it for granted 
Em                  Am7             D      
But if there's some feeling left in you 
     D/C         Bm7 
Some flickers of love 
                  C7+ 
That still shines through 
      Bm7 
Let's talk it out 
      D4(7/9)             D     D/C 
Let's talk about second chances 
Bb7+ 
Wait and see 
      Am7             Gm7     Em7/5-  F 
It's gonna be sweeter than it was   before 
  C9                 G/B 
I gave some then but now I intend 
   F#m4/7       B4            E9/7+ E7+ E9/7+ E7+ 
To dedicate myself to giving more 
     Ebm             Ab 
This time you can be sure
