              Going back - Phil Collins
        GG AmC
 Intro:      x2
 G
I think i'm going back
       C                             Em
To the thing i learned so well in my youth
 G
I think i'm returning to
          C                                        Am
All those days when i was young enough to know the truth
          Em7    Am            C        Em
Now there are no games to only pass the time
         D        Dsus2         C        Em
No more electric trains,no more trees to climb
         D                 Dsus2        Am
Thinking young,and growing older is no sin
    C              C               Em
And i can play the game of life to win.
G
I can recall a time
       C                                Am
When i wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
    G                      Am
And now i think i've got a lot more than
                Em
just my toys to lend
            Am      Em            Am        C
Now there's more to do,than watch myself go cry
         D       Dsus2           Em
And everyday can be, my magic paradise
          C                          Am
And i can play hide and seek with my fears
    C                                   Em7
And live my days instead of counting my years
               AmC
Interlude: GG     x6
C        Am     Em            C
Let everyone debate, the true reality
           Em     Am                C       Em
I'd rather see my world, the way it used to be
   C            Am                Em
A little bit of courage is all we lack
   C               C                    G
So catch me if you can 'cause i'm going back
 GG   AmC
            I'm going back
Not just sitting,    walking away
Yes i'm going back
G                C             G              C
      G              C
Going back to my youth,i'm going back,i,m going back,going back to my youth
Come on catch me 'cause im going back
I'm going back.
    Thats it, the final part you can either play the intro/interlude riff to fade or 
repeat G then C with the beat, hope you like.
