E        D     Em            A  Em  E


[Verse 1]
Em
I must have been out of my mind
Em       E         Em
Tell me where was I ever gonna find
A
Another girl with a love so true
Em
She's the best girl that I ever knew
B
I was a fool I was out of whack
                                Em
But you know what I would do if she would take me back


[Chorus]
A                               B                A          Em
I'd go running back to Rita Just as fast as I could
             A          B                                       Em
Running back to Rita ‘cause her love was so good
A         G#m                   C#m
I know Rita don't love me no more
A               B               F#              A    Em
Rita is the girl I shoulda never let go


[Verse 2]
Em                                    E
I told Rita she was not the one
                          Em                                            E
And that she'd be better off without me in the long run
A                    A
She moved on she got over me
A              E                                        Em
Yeah but now I'm the one with the misery
B
I was a fool I was out of whack
                     E                         Em
But you know what I would do if she would take me back


[Chorus]
A                               B                A          Em
I'd go running back to Rita Just as fast as I could
             A          B                                       Em
Running back to Rita ‘cause her love was so good
A         G#m                   C#m
I know Rita don't love me no more
A               B               F#              A    Em
Rita is the girl I shoulda never let go


[Bridge]
E                       Em           Bm  B
And I know true happiness lies within
Em              F    G                  E
But if that girl would let me come on home
B
I'd be smiling again


[Chorus]
         A                      B                           E
I'd go running back to Rita just as fast as I could
A                       B                                       Em
Running back to Rita  ‘cause her love was so good
A          G#m                  C#m
I know Rita don't love me no more
A                      E                   F#m       A
But Rita is the girl I shoulda never let go

         A                      B                           E
I'd go running back to Rita just as fast as I could
A                       B                                       Em
Running back to Rita  ‘cause her love was so good
A          G#m                  C#m
I know Rita don't love me no more
A                      E                   F#m       A
But Rita is the girl I shoulda never let go
