F   Gm7          A#  C               F   Gm7
I guess now it's time for me to give up
             A# C7 C7sus4 Gm/A#
I feel it's time
       F               Gm7
Got a picture of you beside me
          A#                 C
Got your lipstick mark still on
             F  Gm7
Your coffee cup
    A#  F C
Oh yeah
       F             Gm7
Got a fist of pure emotion
       A#                 C
Got a head of shattered dreams
       Dm              Dm/C
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it
       A#     F/A C
All behind now

Chorus:
    F                Gm7
Whatever I said, whatever I did
          A#
I didn't mean it
        C                 F
I just want you back for good
             Gm7             A#                  C
Want you back, want you back, want you back for good
    F                   Gm7
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me
                   A#
The song and I'll sing it
           C               F
You'll be right and understood
              Gm7            A#                    C
Want you back, want you back, I want you back for good

Unaware but underlined
I figured out this story (No, no)
It wasn't good (No, no)
But in the corner of my mind
(corner of my mind)
I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation
you excelled at being free
Can't you find
(Can't you find)
A little room inside for me

Chorus

A#maj7          F/A   A#maj7             F/A
And we'll be together,   this time is forever
A#maj7                   F/A
We'll be fighting and forever we will be
       Dm          Dm/C
So complete in our love
        A#maj7      F        C   C7
We will never be uncovered again

Chorus

F     Gm7        A#                  C        F
I guess now it's time that you came back for good
