E           A      B                     E
He left you behind the same way you left me
                A
Darling I won't take  pride
B
Or bore you with some victory speech
A        B                      E    E/D#            C#m  
I didn't come around to try and pass judgement on you girl
A                  B                      E
I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl
           A                B                     E
A precious pearl that I let slip right through my hands
           A                D               B
A precious love that I have longed for ever since
E                   A    B                   E
How'd a treasure so rare get left behind somewhere
E/D#  C#m            F#             B
I was fool to let my anger blind me girl
A                     B                      E
So I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl

SOLO

E                      A
The good times we once shared
B                       E
Burned up with our last bridge
                      A
And the past can't be repaired
B
But we might start all over again
A               B                E    E/D#         C#m      
So if you could use a old friend back here in your world
A                B                      E
Darling I'm just looking for a precious pearl
           A                B                     E
A precious pearl that I let slip right through my hands
           A                D               B
A precious love that I have longed for ever since
E                   A    B                   E
How'd a treasure so rare get left behind somewhere
E/D#  C#m            F#             B
I was fool to let my anger blind me girl
A                     B                      E
So I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl
