              G       C               G 
Excuse me ma'am can you help me 
 
  D                          G 
I need to place an ad with you today 
 
         C                 G 
No ma'am tommorow may be too late 
 
    D                           G 
I'd like to have it started right away 
 
 
 
What's that, no this is personal 
I'm not buying or selling anything 
Yes ma'am, I know just what to say 
I wrote it down, this is how it should read 
 
G         C 
Wanted, one good-hearted woman 
 
             G 
To forgive imperfection 
 
                    G 
In the man that she loved 
 
             C 
Wanted, just one chance to tell her 
 
                  G 
How much he still loves her 
 
            D    G 
He can't be sorry enough 
 
 
 
What's that, no that's all I want to say 
I just hope these few lines get to her 
Yes ma'am, she means everything 
I hope she comes back when she reads these  
                                     words 
 
 
Repeat chorus and tag the word wanted.
