Against All Odds

Words & Music:

Phil Collins

 

Am                     Bm                 C               Dm

How can I just let you walk away, let you leave without a trace,

       F                 G                 Em       Am

When I stand here taking every breath with you?  Oooooo.

           Dm                               G

You're the only one who really knew me at all.

 

How can you just walk away from me when all I can do is watch you leave?

'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears.

You're the only one who really knew me at all.

 

CHORUS:

                      Dm                          Gsus4     G

So, take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space.

                C              Dm                Am             F

There's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face.

                  Dm                          Gsus4     G

Take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space.

           C               Dm                      Gsus4            G

You coming back to me is against the odds & that's what I've got to face

 

I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry.

There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why.

You're the only one who really knew me at all.

 

CHORUS:  [last line this time is:]

...But to wait for you, well, that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face...

 

CHORUS:

 

CODA:

Dm                      Gsus4   G

Just take a look at me, now.
