[Verse 1]
Bm
If you want me to stay
Am7 D9
I'll be around today
G7 F#7
To be available for you to see
Bm
I'm about to go
Am7 D9
And then you'll know
G7 G7* F#7*
For me to stay here I've got to be me
Bm
You'll never be in doubt
Am7 D9
That's what it's all about
G7 F#7
You can't take me for granted and smile
Bm
Count the days I'm gone
Am7 D9
Forget reaching me by phone
G7 G7* F#7*
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while
[Chorus]
Bm
When you see me again
Am7 D9
I hope that you have been
G7 F#7
The kind of person that you really are now
[Verse 2]
Bm
You got to get it straight
Am7 D9
How could I ever be late
G7 G7* F#7*
When you're my woman takin' up my time
Bm
How could you ever allow
Am7 D9
I guess I wonder how
G7 F#7
How could you get out of pocket for fun
Bm Am7 D9
When you know that you're never number two
G7 G7* F#7*
Number one gonna be number one
Bm
I'll be good
Am7 D9
I wish I could
G7 F#7
Get this message over to you now
[Chorus]
Bm
When you see me again
Am7 D9
I hope that you have been
G7 F#7
The kind of person you really are now
Bm
I'll be so good
Am7 D9
I wish I could
G7 G7* F#7*
Get the message over to you now
