[Verse]
DDust falls on the Gempty halls of my Aold school
Where the Dmemories fade like the Gcasualty, a forAgotten fool
Now Dwide-eyed has beGcome the blind of Aspoken rule
As Bmequal only deep is now the Gword
The Dlesson's not the answer you once Aheard
[Chorus]
"Don't turn your Dback on me, don't Aever let me Gdown"
She said, "I Dpicked you up each Atime before you Ghit the ground
Your selfish Dface is now eArased when someone Gmentions you
And the Bmdarkness that you left is overGstepped aside 
Will Ddisappear in clouds, the sun arArives

[Verse]
Oh Dworry, oh my Gworry has it Abeen that long?
The Dwhistle keeps on Gblowing but the Achill's all gone
His empty Dframe cannot exGplain, there's nothing Aleft inside
So Bmsing to me a song from yesterGday
When Dlaughter filled the tears that we now Amake
[Chorus]
"Don't turn your Dback on me, don't Aever let me Gdown"
She said, "I Dpicked you up each Atime before you Ghit the ground
Your selfish Dface is now eArased when someone Gmentions you
If Bmonly you had seen what I now Gsee
And Dturned the corner where you would of Abeen
