You know

than but (E7)I’ll be back a gain.

’Cause I

told you (C)once be (G6)fore good bye,

but (E7)I came back a gain.

I love you so, oh,

I’m the one who (Bm)wants you,

yes, I’m the one who (E7)wants you, (D)oh ho,

(D)oh ho.

Oh, (Am)you

could find (C)bet ter (G6)things to do

than to (E7)break my heart a gain.

This time

I will (C)try to (G6)show that I’m

not (E7)try ing to pre tend.

(Bm7)I

thought that you would (C#m)re al ize

that if I (F#m)ran a way from you, that (B7)you would want me to.

But (D)I got a big sur prise,

(D)oh ho,

(D)oh ho.

Oh,
