       Bm7
If you want me to stay
         Am7    Dm7(9)
I'll be around today
        G7                    F#7 (Bbº)
To be available for you to see
      Bm7          Am7           Dm7(9)
I'm about to go
And then you'll know
           G7                        F#7 (C#º/Bb)
For me to stay here I've got to be me
        Bm7
You'll never be in doubt

That's what it's all about

You can't take me for granted and smile
           Bm7
Count the days I'm gone
        Am7             Dm7(9)
Forget reaching me by phone
           G7                            F#7 (Bbº)
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while
         Bm7
When you see me again
            Am7        Dm7(9)
I hope that you have been

You got to get it straight
               Am7      Dm7(9)
How could I ever be late
                G7                   F#7
When you're my woman takin' up my time
Bm7
How could you ever allow

           Am7    Dm7(9)
I guess I wonder how
                G7                     F#7 (Bbº)
How could you get out of pocket for fun

Bm7
When you know that
              Am7    Dm7(9)
You're never number two
        G7                    F#7
Number one gonna be number one
Bm7
I'll be good
  Am7   Dm7(9)
I wish I could
          G7                    F#7 (C#º/Bb)
