AGAINST ALL ODDS

(PHIL COLLINS)
[TRANSP. +l]
Intro: Dm G Dm G
Am Bm c Dm
1. How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace,
F G/F Ern Am
when I stand here taking every breath with you, oooh.
Dm F G
You're the only one who really knew me at all.

Am Ern c Dm
2. How can you just walk away fromme, when all I can do is watch you leave
F G/F Ern Am
cause we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears.
Dm F Gsus4 G
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
Refrain:
C/G D/G
So take a look atme now, cause there's just an empty space,
Am F
and there's nothing left here to remind me,
Dm Gsus4
just the memory of your face.
G CIG D/G
oh, take a look at me now, cause there's just an empty space,
Am F
and you coming back to me is against the odds,
Dm Gsus4 G
and that's what I've got to face.

Am Bm c Dm
3. I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry,
F G/F Ern Am
there's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why.
Dm F Gsus4 G
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
Refrain:
C/G D/G
So take a look at me now, cause there's just an empty space,
Am F
and there's nothing left here to remind me,
Dm Gsus4
just the memory of your face.
G C/G D/G
Now, take a look atme now, cause there's just an empty space,
Am F
but to wait for you, well that's all I can do,
Dm Gsus4
and that's what I've got to face.
Coda:
G C/G D/G
Take a good look at me now, cause I'll still be standing here,
Am F
and you coming back to me is against all odds,
Dm Gsus4 G Dm G Dm G
it's the chance I've got to take.
Dm Csus2 G/B F G
Take a look atme now.
