[VERSE 1]
    F#m7
I'll    never know why I had to go
                           E
Why I had to put up such a lousy rotten show
   F#m7
Boy,   I was tough, packing all my stuff
                           E
Saying I don't need you anymore, I've had enough


[PD-C HORUS 1]
    A    B7/A       E/G#           C#m         A  B
And now, look at me standing here again 'cause I found out that
G#m     Gm        F#m7
Ma (x8) ma (x7) my    life is here
                   B | |
Gotta have you near


[CHORUS 1]
   E               B
As good as new, my love for you
    E                           E/B   B
And keeping it that way is my inten - tion
   E               A
As good as new and growing too
       F#m               B          E
Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension
B7      E               B
It's as good as new, my love for you
     E                           B
Just like it used to be and even better
   E                  A            A/G#
As good as new, thank God it's true
         F#m            B               E      G#m Gm
Darling, we were always meant to stay together

[VERSE 2]
    F#m7
Feel    like a creep, never felt so cheap
                           E
Never had a notion that my love could be so deep
   F#m7
How    could I make such a dumb mistake
                            E
Now I know I'm not entitled to another break


[PD-C HORUS 2]
    A       B/A        E/G#          C#m   B     A B
But please, ba - by, I beg you to forgive 'cause I found out that
G#m     Gm        F#m7
Ma (x8) ma (x7) my    life is here
                     B
Gotta get you near
