[Chorus]
Dm7                   G7/B
Working my way back to you, babe
        C  F    C  E7/B Am
With a burnin' love inside
           Dm7                  G7/B
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
         C  F C   E7/B  Am
And the happiness that died
   D7         G  [keyboard riff]
I let it get away
                      [keyboard riff]
Been payin' every day

[Verse 1]
 G                  D7/F#
When you were so in love with me
C                    D
I played around like I was free
G                           D7/F#
Thought I could have my cake    and eat it too
C                     D
But how I cried over losin' you
        C             Cm
See me cryin' now, but I ain't about to go
 G                    Gdim
Livin' my life without you
    G  C   G  C    G    C   G   C
For every day   I made you cry
    G  C     G      C      G7       C  G
I'm payin', girl, 'til the day that I die

[Chorus]
Dm7                   G7/B
Working my way back to you, babe
        C  F    C  E7/B Am
With a burnin' love inside
           Dm7                  G7/B
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
         C  F C   E7/B  Am
And the happiness that died
   D7         G  [keyboard riff]
I let it get away
                      [keyboard riff]
Been payin' every day

[Verse 2]
I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
But if I'd been a man in reality
You'd still be here, babe, lovin' me
Now the nights are long and lonely
And I ain't through strugglin', I just miss you so
And you're too proud  you won't give in
But when I think about all I can win

[Chorus]
Dm7                   G7/B
Working my way back to you, babe
        C  F    C  E7/B Am
With a burnin' love inside
           Dm7                  G7/B
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
         C  F C   E7/B  Am
And the happiness that died
   D7         G  [keyboard riff]
I let it get away
                      [keyboard riff]
Been payin' every day

With a burnin' love inside
