Baby's Coming Back
I knew that when I saw her
that my life would move over from the fast lane
Gone would be the days of all my drinkin' and my carryin' on
But when I settled down
The party king uncrowned
this stubborn memory hadn't faded
too many dumb mistakes
and all the grief it makes
left nothin' else to be debated
And if you say that you understand then your lyin'
D7 F maj7sus2 C maj - C sus4 - C maj
but if you figure that I'm all right now I can't deny it
Baby's comin' back, Baby's comin' back
so I'm on my best behavior
min
I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today
min/ maj (verse riff)
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
(same as first verse)
If I had a dollar for every single time I fought her I'd buy a handgun
But that couldn't shoot away the bullseye that she made on my heart
(same as first bridge)
And if I sound like a beaten man well I guess so
but on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let go
(same as first chorus)
Baby's comin' back
Baby's comin' back
so I'm on my best behavior
I can't take it anymore
I just woke up on the floor today ----- (descending)
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
min maj maj
What I told her on the telephone was that I'd been so bad
min maj maj
I wouldn't blame her if she mowed down these wild oats I'd sown
maj
But when she said she give me one more chance
maj maj maj
I said knock three times when you arive

This transcription is from the acoustic version that Jellyfish plays.
It will also work on the album version. Sometimes they play it with a
capo on the first fret in which case you'd just move all the chords up
a fret. Also, the chord names on the bridge are an approximation, but the
actual chords are the way that Jellyfish plays them.
The main ryhthm toggles back and forth between the C maj and
C sus4 chords using your pinkie.
