[Verse 1]
   D        G
Oh darlin', I'm so
            D       G
 lonely without you
        D
I can't sleep at night
G              D        G
Just thinkin' about you
         D
But if I had the chance
    G
to start all over
       D
I'd be wishing today on
 a four leaf clover
    G
And leaving would be the
 D             A
last thing on my mind
If I could turn back
     D
the hands of time

[Chorus]
(If I could turn back
               G
the hands of time)
           D
If I could turn back the
 hands of time
(If I could turn back
               G
the hands of time)
[Verse 2]
   D        G
Oh darlin', I can't
               D      G
hold out much longer
        D
But the pain is so deep
G
And the hurt's getting
 D        G
 stronger
    D             G
But if I had just one more try
       D
I'd be yours alone,
           G
 until the day I die
                     D
And we'd have a love so divine
A
If I could turn back
 D
 the hands of time

[Chorus]
(If I could turn back
               G
 the hands of time)
           D
If I could turn back
the hands of time
(If I could turn back
               G
the hands of time)

Your love's been so good

to me, baby
                      D#

the hands of time)
D#
(If I could turn
back the hands of time)

                G#
If I could just have
 another chance, darling
D#
(If I could turn back
     G#
 the hands of time)
             D#
Just give me one more chance
(If I could turn back
     G#
the hands of time)
        D#
I wanna turn back
the hands of time
(If I could turn back
 G#
 the hands of time)
I'm gonna turn back
     D#
the hands of time
