Intro: Ab Fm Db Eb

VERSE
Ab              Fm
How did I ever let you slip away
Db                                 Eb
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
            Ab                   Fm
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Db                         Eb
Ever since you closed the door

Chorus
           Ab                   Fm
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Db                              Eb
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
     Ab                         Fm
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Db                                Eb
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine

Ab                Fm
Funny, funny how time goes by
    Db                               Eb
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
       Ab                             Fm
Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
     Db                            Eb
When every day I pray please come back to me

Chorus
           Ab                   Fm
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Db                              Eb
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
     Ab                         Fm
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Db                                Eb
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine

BRIDGE
    Db              Eb    Fm
And you had enough love for the both of us
    Db  Eb            Fm     Db          
But I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did
                                  Eb
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone

Chorus
           Ab                   Fm
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Db                              Eb
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
     Ab                         Fm
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Db                                Eb
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine

Same progression throughout the rest of the song.

I'd never hurt you - If I could turn back -
Never do you wrong - If I could turn back -
And never leave your side - If I could turn back -
If I could turn back the hands

There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you 
- If I could turn back -
Forever honest and true to you
- If I could turn back -
If you accept me back in your heart, I love you
- If I could turn back the hands -

- If I could turn back -
That would be my will
- If I could turn back -
Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands
- If I could turn back the hands -

I'm going down, yes I am 
- If I could turn back -
Down on my bended knee, yeah
- If I could turn back -
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me
- If I could turn back the hands -

- If I could turn back -
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall
- If I could turn back -
Then I'd come to realize how much I love you 
Love you love you love you
- If I could turn back the hands -
