F#m7
I'll never know why I had to go
                            E
Why I had to put up such a lousy rotten show
F#m7
Boy, I was tough, packing all my stuff
                            E
Saying I don't need you anymore,
I've had enough

     A    B7/A       E/G#          C#m
And now, look at me standing here again
       A  B
'cause I found out that
G#m     Gm      F#m7
Ma (x8) ma (x7) my life is here
                   B
Gotta have you near

Chorus:
    E               B
As good as new, my love for you
     E                          E/B B
And keeping it that way is my intention
    E                A
As good as new and growing too
       F#m               B           E
Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension
B7       E               B
It's as good as new, my love for you
      E                           B
Just like it used to be and even better
    E                  A
As good as new, thank God it's true
         F#m             B               E    G#m Gm
Darling, we were always meant to stay together

Feel like a creep, never felt so cheap
Never had a notion that my love could be so deep
How could I make such a dumb mistake?
Now I know I'm not entitled to another break

But please, baby, I beg you to forgive
'Cause I found out that
Ma my life is here
Got to have you near

Chorus

I thought that our love was at an end but here
I am again

Chorus:
As good as new, my love for you
And keeping it that way is my intention
As good as new and growing too
Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension
It's as good as new, my love for you
Just like it used to be and even better
As good as new, thank God it's true
Darling, we were always meant to stay together

Yes, the love I have for you feels as good as new
Darling, we were always meant to stay together
