Song: Second Chance
By:   38 Special

[intro:] 2 x [  Bb  F  Cm  Gm ]  
 
[verse: 1]
Bb                F
  Since you been gone
Cm                 Gm
  I feel my life slipping away
Bb               F
  I look to the sky
Cm                    Gm
  And everything is turning gray
Bb                F
  All I made was one mistake
Gm                      Ab
  How much more will I have to pay
Eb             Bb
Why can't you think it over
Gm              F                         
Why can't you forget about the past
 

[chorus:]
Bb                       F
  When love makes this sound babe
Cm                 Eb
  A heart needs a second chance
Bb              F
  Don't put me down babe
Cm                  F
  Can't you see I love you
Bb                        F
Since you been gone I've been in a trance
Cm                    Gm
 This heart needs a second chance
Cm                        Eb               Bb
  Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye
 
   F    Cm    Gm
 
[verse: 2]
Bb            F
  So this is love
Cm                  Gm
  Standing in the pouring rain
Bb             F
  I've called on you
Cm              Gm
  But she never meant a thing
Bb                  F
And I know I ain't got no right
Gm              Ab
To ask you to sympathize
 Eb            Bb 
Why can't you think it over
Gm               F
Why can't you forget about the past
 
 
[chorus:]
Bb                      F
  When love makes this sound babe
Cm                 Eb
  A heart needs a second chance
Bb              F
  Don't put me down babe
Cm                  F
  Can't you see I love you
Bb                        F
Since you been gone I've been in a trance
Cm                  Gm
This heart needs a second chance
Cm                       Eb               Bb {bass walk down Bb A G F}
  Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye
 
 
[bridge:]
F
 I never loved her
Bb                
 I never needed her
Gm                          Eb  {bass walk down Eb D C D C}
 She was willing and that's all there is to say
Cm        
   Don't forsake me
Gm                        F
   Please don't leave me now
Bb       F              Cm    Eb
A heart needs a second chance

Bb                           F
 You've been gone, and I've been in a trance

 This heart needs a second chance
Cm                     Eb                     {let ring}
Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye

(Eb)                   Bb
Please forgive me and forget it
Gm                  F

Why can't we talk it over

Why can't you forget about, forget the past
