Verse 1:
D A D A G
I’ve been cheated by you since I don’t know when.
D A D A G
So I made up my mind it must come to an end.
D (lick #1) Dmin#5
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
D (lick #2) Dmin#5 G
I don’t know how but I suddenly lose control.
A
There’s a fire within my soul.
G D A
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring,
G D A
One more look and I forget everything, oooh.
Chorus:
D
Mama mia, here I go again.
C G D
My my, how can I resist you?
D
Mama mia, does it show again?
C G D
My my, just how much I’ve missed you.
D (Lick #3) A
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted.
Bmin F#min
Blue since the day we parted.
C G Emin A
Why why did I ever let you go.
D (Lick #4) Bmin
Mama mia, now I really know,
C G Emin A
My my, I could never let you go.
Verse 2:
I’ve been angry and sad about the things that you do.
I can’t count all the times that I’ve told you we’re through.
And when you go, when you slam the door,
I think you know that you won’t be away too long,
You know that I’m not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring,
One more look and I forget everything, oooh.
Mama mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mama mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you.
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted,
blue since the day we parted.
Why, why did I ever let you go.
Mama mia, even if I say
bye bye, leave me now or never,
Mama mia, it’s a game we play.
Bye bye doesn’t mean forever.
Mama mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mama mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you.
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted,
blue since the day we parted.
Why, why did I ever let you go.
Mama mia, now I really know,
my my, I could never let you go.
