[Verse]

E
Tom Tom lived for all he could give
A                                 E
And he stood by his father’s side.

Then into his world came a sweet young girl
A                        E
And he took her for his bride.
       A                E
And he took her for his bride.


[Chorus]

E
Tom Tom turn around don’t ever let me down,
A                   E
Don’t ever leave my life.

Tom Tom turn around, don’t ever let me down,
A                E
Take me for your wife.
        A                E
Please, take me for your wife.


[Verse 2]

E
Tom Tom’s called away but his wife says: stay!
              A                    E
Though he had never had to leave before

Sweet young wife only fears for the good life
     A              E
That she may see no more.
    A                 E
And then he hears her call.


[Chorus 2]

You can’t leave your wife,
    B                    F#
No, you can’t leave your wife.


[Verse 3]

F#
Tom Tom returns but only to learn
            B                         F#
There’s was truth in the words he’d ignored.

Sweet young wife found a new kind of life
      B                      F#
And a strong man’s heart was torn.
        B                F#
Will he always hear that call?


[Chorus 3]

You can’t leave your wife,
    C#                  G#
No, you can’t leave your wife.


[Verse 4]

G#
Tom Tom’s alone in a world of his own
        C#                G#
When he hears a new voice call.

Be my man, I’ll do all that I can
   C#                          G#
Is that what he’s been waiting for?
        C#                  G#
Will he turn and answer the call
