Everyday I hear a different story

People say that you're no good for me

If you loved me baby you wouldnt deny it
G/B
But you laugh and tell me i should try it
Dm                            C    G/B   Am
Tell me I'm a baby And I dont understand
 
 
   [Pre-Chorus]

But to know that I'll forgive you
          C     G/B       Am
Just this once, twice, forever
      G    F                    G
Cause baby You could drag me to hell and back
        C       G/B       Am
Just as long as we're together

Like a prisoner who has his own key
G/B
But I can't escape until you love me
  Dm
I just go from day to day

Just this once, twice, forever
      G    F                    G
Cause baby You could drag me to hell and back

I hated Wham in the 80's. I'm so glad I now have the chords to bang out the out this absolute gem! Great work, many thanks!
