 INTRO:  G  Dsus  Am  Em
 
 VERSE 1:
 G                  D    Am               Em
 Since you've been gone, I feel my life slipping away.
 G            D    Am                  Em
 I look to the sky, and everything is turning gray.
 G              D           Em                    F
 All I made was one mistake, how much more will I have to pay.
 
 CHORUS:
 C               G/D             C/E             D/F#           D
 W/why can't you think it over.  Why can't you forget about the past?
 G                D            Am               C
 When love makes a sound babe, a heart needs a second chance.
 G            D          Am                  D
 Don't put me down babe, can't you see I love you.
 G                           D         
 Since you've been gone  I've been in a trance.  
 Am                   Em 
 This heart needs a second chance.  
 Am                     C                      G
 Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye.
 
 VERSE 2: (lead-in: Dsus  Am  Em  D)
 G          D    Am                 Em
 So this is love, standing in the pouring rain.
 G              D    Am                  Em
 I've called on you.  'Cause she never meant a thing.
 G                  D            Em             F
 All I know I ain't got the right to ask you to sympathize.  But ... (to CHORUS)
 
 BRIDGE: (lead-in: G  D/F#  Em)
 D                  G                   Em
 I never loved her.  I never needed her.  
                            C   G/B   Am
 She was willing and that's all there is to say.
                C/G                          D
 Don't forsake me, please don't leave me now.
 G      D                  Am
 A heart needs a second chance.
 
 INSTRUMENTAL: C  G  D  Am  D  G  D  Am  Em  Am  C
 
 FINAL VERSE/CHORUS:
 G                 G/D             C/E             D/F#
 Please forgive me and forget it.  I was wrong and I admit it.
 G            G/D           C/E             D/F#
 Why can't we talk it over, why can't we forget about,
    D                   G       D                      Am
 forget about the past.  A heart needs a second chance.
      C                       G       D                      Am
 When love makes a sound babe, a heart needs a second chance.
      C                   G
 Don't put me down babe.  Since you've been gone, 
     D                 Am                    Em
 I've been in a trance.  This heart needs a second chance.
 Am                     C                      G
 Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye.
 
 REPEAT AND FADE: (lead-in: D)

 A heart needs a second chance.  When love makes a sound babe.

 (The original song is written in Bb-major so there are a bunch of hard to 
 play Bb's and Eb's with funky bass notes.  I transcribed this version for 
 ease of play and singing.)
