[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
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS 1]

And now, look at me standing here again 'cause I found out that
Abm     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/Ab
As good as new, thank God it's true
         F#m            B               E      Abm 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

Abm     Gm        F#m7
Ma (x8) ma (x7) my    life is here
                     B
Gotta get you near
