[Verse 1]
E
Tom Tom lived for all he could give
      A                     E
As he stood by his father's side
E
Then into his world came a sweet young girl
       A                E        
And he took her for his bride, 
       A                E
and he took her for his bride

[Chorus]
E
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
A                   E
Don't ever leave my life
E
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
A                E        
You don't need a wife, 
    A                E
no, you don't need a wife

[Verse 2]
E
Tom Tom's called away, but his wife says stay
            A                    E
Though he's never had to leave before
E
Sweet young wife only fears for the good life
     A              E
That she may see no more 
    A                 E
and then he hears her call

[Chorus]
F#
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
B                   F#
Don't ever leave my life
F#

You can't leave your wife, 
    B                    F#

[Verse 3]
F#
Tom Tom returns but only to learn
          B                       F#
There was truth in the words he'd ignored
F#
Sweet young wife found a new kind of life
      B                      F#
And a strong man's heart was torn
        B                F#
Will he always hear that call?

[Chorus]

You can't leave your wife, 
    C#                   G#
no, you can't leave your wife

[Verse 4]
G#
Tom Tom's alone in a world of his own
     C#                   G#
When he hears a new voice call
"Be my man, I'll do all that I can"
   C#                          G#
Is this what he's been waiting for?
     C#                     G#
Will he turn and answer her call?

[Chorus]

Tom Tom turnaround, I'll never let you down
