Originally in G#, I play in A down an octave, possibly capo 1 or 2
Highest note is the 5 (on OH baby give)
Highest note that’s held a long time is the 3
| A | A/C# | D | ||||
| F#m | A/C# | D | A | Bm7 | E | A |
Vox on 5 on “when”, on the 6 of the key on “self” and “didn’t”.
That means you’re *not* going up from “self” to “didn’t”, even
though you want to.

Note different rhythm here, downbeat on *IN* his arms
| F#m | A/C# | D | A | A | |
| Well | now | since I | see you | in his arms |
Bass/vox break, mostly on the I chord with some buh buh buh
| A | E/G# | F#m | E | D | A/C# |
| Oh d | arlin’ I | was b | lind to l | et you go |
| Bm7 | E | |

Original ad libs on chorus chords to fade, I prefer to end on:
| A |
| Yes I do now (I want you back) |
| A |
| Ooh ooh baby (I want you back) |
| A |
| Yeah no no no (I want you back) |
Hard stop before “I want you back”
| A |
| No no no no (I want you back) |
