Intro: Em G A D Bm 

#1 
     D              B                 Em 
If I promise you to straighten up and put my life in  
A      Em 
order. 
Em                 Eb        A             G       A 
If I swear to you, woman, on bended knees, I won't hurt  
     D 
you again. 
D               Gb               G              Em  G 
If I become the kind of man that you want me to be..would  
           D     Am        D   G A 
you take another chance on me? 


#2. 
D                        B                    Em 
The good Lord knows I've done you wrong, I've asked him to  
   Am 
forgive me. 
       Eb     G        A         G         A      D   A 
Deep inside I think He would, if you could do the same. 
D                    B                   G                Em 
If I could take back all the things that caused you miser-y.. 
G                D     Am        D 
would you take another chance on me? 


Bridge: 
G         D            G                   D        G     D 
Would you take another chance on me?..I've paid for my mistakes. 
          G                              D 
Would you take another chance on me?..or have I changed too  
A    G Em 
late? 


#3. 
D                 B                        Em 
Mmmm, I've been a fool, woman, for hurting you..but God, can't  
    Am 
you see I'm sorry? 
Em          Eb   D     A     G           Am    D 
If you were only mine again, I'd make it up to you. 
D                 Gm       Bm      G              Em   G 
But my past keeps blinding you, if you could only see..would 
           D     Am        D   G D 
you take another chance on me?
