Verse:
G G7
Here I am, held out as long as I could

Tried to forget you, but it didn't do no good

I even tried somebody new
C D G
Still I had to come back to you
Verse:
G G7
I was blind, now I see my mistake
C C7
Leavin' you darling only made my little heart ache
G Em
I didn't know what else to do
C D G
So I had to come back to you
Chorus:
C
I hope your heart's in the right place, baby
G G7
I hope you don't drive me from your door
C
And if your heart's in the right place, baby
D
You'll take me back and let me love you like I used to do before
Verse:
G G7
Please forgive, have mercy on me
C C7
Don't hurt me darling, I'm in too much misery
G Em
You don't know what I've been through
C D G
So little girl, I had to come back to you
Chorus:
C
I hope your heart's in the right place, baby

I hope you don't drive me from your door

And if your heart's in the right place, baby

You'll take me back and let me love you like I used to do before

G G7
Please forgive, have mercy on me

Don't hurt me darling, I'm in too much misery

You don't know what I've been through

That's why I had to come back to you
