Phil Collins - Against All Odds
[Capo on the 1:st feet]
*First verse*
Am7 Bm7 Cadd2 Dm7
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
Gadd2 G/F Em7 Am7
when I stand here talking every breath with you____________ooh___
Dm7 Dm7/B Gsus4 G
you're the only one who really knew me at all
*second verse, same chords as first verse*
How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain,
we even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
*bridge + chorus*
G C/G
So take a look at me now,
D7/A
cause there's just an empty space
Am7 F
and there's nothing left here to remind me,
Dm7
just the memory of your face
Gsus4 G C/G
well take a look at me now
D7/A
well there's just an empty space
Am7 F
and you comin' back to me is against all odds,
Dm7 Gsus4 G
and it's a chance i've got to face
*third verse, same chords as first verse*
I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say,
so many reasons why
you're the only one who really knew me at all
*bridge + chorus*
*stick + end*
C/G D7/A
'Cause I'll still be standing here
Am7 F
And you coming back to me is against all odds,
Dm7 Gsus4 -- G
it's the chance I've got to take
-- G7sus4/D Gsus4 G -- G7sus4/D Gadd2 G7sus4
Take a look at me now....
Gno3/D A7sus4/B Gadd2 end on G
Chords:
Am7 - x02010
Bm7 - x13121

| There is only one thing that I learns from this song: NEVER EVER GIVE UP you hope! Does not matter if that is your bro/sis/gf/bf/anyone special you 'missing', never ever lost your power in WISH. And of course, BE SMART, there must be something better than /But to wait for you, is all I can do/. ;). I brave enough to say this 'cause this happens to me, YEAH, and I am on the track to get her BACK now. Just last steps now... ;) | |

| the lyrics that are typed here are wrong - it actually goes "so take a look at my cow", and is about a farmer giving instructions to a vet. | |

| Phil's best song in my opinion, even though Another Day In Paradise is considered his best. I love pretty much all of Phil's music, but he gives it his all on this one. | |

| THis is an amazing song about a guy who's life has completely fallen apart because his love has left him. All he can do is sit and wait and PRAY for her to come back into his life. It's almos as if he expected her to leave, although he does resent her for it. I can REALLY relate to this song. | |

| I've always loved this song even though I hadn't experienced heartbreak (up until now). I've just broken up with my bf and I'm pretty damn sure that whenever I hear this song I will cry my little heart out. | |

| This too, was my break up song. It really spoke volumes to me beause my g/f at the time broke up with me, and I was helpless to do anything about it. I cried (and drank) many nights just listening to that song and hoping. It's now been 6 years since she left, and although the wound is now healed, I still have the scars. Everytime I hear that song, I go back to the saddest time of my life. | |

| It hurts my insides. Guys can hurt too right? I wish that my love could stay but she was an exchange student and no matter what happens the outcome is still always the same isn't it. She leaves. I will tell her till the day I die I love her. I LOVE YOU CHRISTINA!!!!!!! Good luck. | |

| Such a sad song.. It can be related in so many ways. I'll always relate it to my brother who died about two years ago. It makes me think of him, especially on New year and Christmas. He was the only person who understood me completely. I miss him so much, there's a emty space in my soul. | |

| Every time I hear this song I think about the movie by the same name.. it wasn't the greatest movie out there but this song is great!! It's about loving someone, but no matter what your relationship can no longer be or you can not stay together. Heartbreaking :-( | |

| you know there are two ways to look at the song. As though you are the one singing the song, or you are the subject. From the subject's point of view. it is about being very much loved by someone, someone who almost expected you to leave their love life, and you do. I do not believe that necessarily these two individuals were together, they could have just been two people that we kinda testing the waters, and the one person backed out. But the singer However, even though the odds are slim that they will be together, is going to wait around. It is as though this person will wait till the end of the world. SAD SAD SAD. | |

| My first breakup song... Made my cry for a little while, but I was sixteen at the time! Makes me realise how something which seemed so painful at the time seems so trivial with the benefit of time gone by... | |

| This song is about a girl leaving a guy and he can't believe it's happening. He wants to stop her and wonders how he can just let her go but he can't. She leaves and all he can do is just hope she'll come back but he knows she won't because it's against all odds (obviously). He's hollow now because she left but towards the end of the song he's saying he'll still be there standing strong waiting if she does want to but take a look at him because he's not the same man anymore. | |

| One off the best love songs ever!!!!! You can feel his pain and despair. He knows there is NOTHING he can do to get her back. This is a brokenhearted man. (I know exactly how he feels!) | |
