Just let you leave without a trace,

You're the only one who really knew me at all.

Just the memory of your face.

You're the only one who really knew me at all.

So take a look at me now

And there's nothing left here to remind me,
DmG
Just the memory of your face.
G7C
Oh take a look at me now
D
Cause there's just an empty space,
AmF
But to wait for you, well that's all I can do,
DmG
And that's what I've got to face.
G7C
Take a good look at me now
D
Cause I'll still be standing here,

And you coming back to me is against all odds,
DmGG7
It's the chance I've got to take

Take a look at me now.
Phil Collins - Against All Odds Chords :: indexed at Ultimate Guitar.
Philip David Charles Collins, LVO (born 30 January 1951 Chiswick, London)[1] is a British singer-songwriter, drummer and actor best known as the lead singer and drummer of English progressive rock group Genesis and as a Grammy and Academy Award-winning solo artist. He has also starred in numerous films.
Collins sang the lead vocals on eight American chart-toppers between 1984 and 1989; seven as a solo artist and one with Genesis. His singles, often dealing with lost love, ranged from the drum-heavy "In the Air Tonight", to the dance pop of "Sussudio", to the political statements of his most successful song, "Another Day in Paradise". His international popularity transformed Genesis from a progressive rock group to a regular on the pop charts and an early MTV mainstay. Collins' professional career began as a drummer, first with obscure rock group Flaming Youth and then more famously with Genesis. In Genesis, Collins originally supplied backing vocals for front man Peter Gabriel, singing lead on only two songs: "For Absent Friends" from 1971's Nursery Cryme album and "More Fool Me" from Selling England by the Pound, which was released in 1973. On Gabriel's departure in 1975, Collins became the group's lead singer. As the decade closed, Genesis's first international hit, "Follow You, Follow Me", demonstrated a drastic change from the band's early years. His concurrent solo career, heavily influenced by his personal life, brought both him and Genesis commercial success. According to Atlantic Records, Collins' total worldwide sales as a solo artist, as of 2002, were over 100 million.[2]
