I
E
Tom Tom lived for all he could give
AE
As he stood by his father's side
Then into his world came a sweet young girl
AE
And he took her for his bride,
AE
and he took her for his bride
Chorus:
E
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
AE
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
AE
You don't need a wife,
AE
no, you don't need a wife
II:
E
Tom Tom's called away, but his wife says stay
AE
Though he's never had to leave before
Sweet young wife only fears for the good life
AE
That she may see no more
AE
and then he hears her call
Chorus:
F#
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
BF#
Don't ever leave my life
F#
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
BF#
You can't leave your wife,
BF#
no, you can't leave your wife
III:
F#
Tom Tom returns but only to learn
BF#
There was truth in the words he'd ignored
Sweet young wife found a new kind of life
BF#
And a strong man's heart was torn
BF#
Will he always hear that call?
Chorus:
G#
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
C#G#
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
C#G#
You can't leave your wife,
C#G#
no, you can't leave your wife
IV:
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:
A#
Tom Tom turnaround, I'll never let you down

Take me for your wife,
