B7 Cdim Em9 Em B+ Em7 I'm a fool to hold you, E7/9- Am Am7+ Such a fool to hold you. A9 Am C Em Gdim Edim To seek a kiss not mine a - lone, Bm7/5- B7 Em Em7 To share a kiss that Devil has known. (bridge) Am Am7+ D9 D7 G9 G6 Time and time again I said I'd leave you; Am Am7+ D9 D7 G9 G6 Time and time again I went away. Am B7 Em Em7+ Em7 But then would come the time when I would need you, Edim C7 B7 And once again these words I had to say, B7 Cdim Em9 Em B+ Em7 Take me back, I love you; E7/9- Am Am7+ Cdim Pity me, I need you.
