2 years, 3 months, and 5 days, I've been trying to climb this wall,
                                               
2 years, 3 months, and 5 days, Honey, please don't let me fall

                                      
Understand my dear, When you come walking near,
                                             
I want you back again, Cause I know that I can't win,
                                     
It's not for me to choose, I'll take you back again,
                                             
When I can afford to lose

                                                        
I see your picture on my table, And your ghost is sleeping in my bed,
C         Am7           Am                                F               
And your good-bye still rattles, and rattles, And rattles around like 
                  
thunder through my head

                                                       
So I'll have one more cigarette And hope that soon I will forget
                                           
When you walked in Cause I know that I can't win,
                                        
It's not for me to choose, I'll take you back again, 
                                
When I can afford to lose.
                                             
I'll take you back again When I can afford to lose

                                                       
And don't leave me hanging on this borderline
                              
The things I could do, with a whisper from you
            
Could just blow your mind

(harmonica solo)        

                                       
Understand my dear When you come walking near,
                                              
I want you back again, Cause I know that I can't win,
                                        
It's not for me to choose, I'll take you back again,
                                      
When I can afford to lose

                                                                 
I'll take you back again When I can afford to lose.
                                              
I'll take you back again When I can afford to lose.
