Against All Odds



How can I just let you walk away?
 -3 -3 -3  -3  -3   3  -3  -4 -4

Just let you leave without a trace
 -3  -4  -5    6   -5 -5  -5  -5

When I stand here taking every breath with you? Ooh, ooh
 -5  6  -6    6   -5  5  -5 6     3     2   3   -5   5

You're the only one  who really knew me at all
  -5    6 -6 -6 -5 5 -3   4  4    4  -3 -2 -3 3


How can you just walk away from me
 -3 -3  -3   -3  -3   3 -3  -4  -4

When all I can do is watch you leave?
 -4  -5  6 -5  -5 -5  -5   -5   -5

'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
   -5    6     -6    6   -5   5  -5   6   3

And even shared the tears
 2  3  3   3     -5  5 -3

You're the only one  who really knew me at all
  -5    6 -6 -6 -5 5 -3   4  4    4  -3 -2 -3 3


So take a look at me now
 3   6  7  6   -5 5  5 -5 6

Is there just an empty space
 3  -3    5   6  6 -5  -5 5 -3

And there's nothing left here to remind me
 3   -3      5  5   -7 7  7   6   6 -6  6 -5 5

Just the memory of your face
 -5   6  -6  6  -5  5   6 -5


Just take a look at me now
  3   6   7   6  -5 5  5 -5 6

'Cause there's just an empty space
   3    -3      5   6  6 -5  -5 5 -3

And you coming back to me is against the odds
 3  -3   5  5  -7 7  7  6  6  -6  6  -5   5

And that's what I've got to face
 -5   6     -6    6  -5  5  6 -5


I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So, take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Now, take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take

Take a look at me now ...
