Am                      Gm         C
If you want me to stay, I'll be around today
F                    E7
To be available for you to see
Am                       Gm          C
But I'm about to go and then you'll know
 F                   E7
For me to stay here, I got to be me

[Verse 2]
 Am                               Gm        C
You'll never be in doubt, that's what it's all about
 F                     E7
You can't take me for granted and smile
 Am                        Gm            C
Count the days I'm gone, forget reachin' me by phone
F                      E7
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while

[Verse 3]
Am                                Gm       C
And when you see me again I hope that you have been
F                   E7 
The kind of person that you really are now
Am                           Gm          C
You got to get in straight, how could I ever be late
F                       E7 
When you're the woman taking up my time?

[Verse 4]
Am                                  Gm          C
Whoa, oh, how could you ever allow? I guess I wonder how
F                     E7 
How could you get out a pocket for fun
Am                         Gm           C
When you know that you're never number two (Never number two)
F                       E7
Number one's gonna be number one

[Verse 5]
Am            Gm        C
I'll be good, I wish I could
F                     E7 
Get this message over to you now
Am  Gm   C   F   E7 
Oh, oh, ayy
Am  Gm     C      F    E7 
Oh, baby, eh, eh, oh, ayy

[Verse 6]
Am                         Gm          C
And when you see me again, I hope that you have been
F                        E7 
The kind of person that you really are now
Am               Gm        C
I'll be so good, I wish I could
F                    E7 
Get the message over to you now

[Outro]
Am Gm   C       F                   E7
Oh,oh, Get the message over to you now (Babe)
