INTRO: A, E, Db,  Ex2
Verse:
BYou were walking Dbacross hot coals
 BAnd your split mDby heart in two
 BThen you used both halves as sEandles
 DbAnd Bthe Avalves as candles
 Refrain: 
 Db, B, A(x2) x4
 I’ll never forget you
Verse again
Refrain again
Breakdown, I guess...
 AI blame Emyself and no-one Dbelse
 I should have Egrown up sooner
 AI should have let her Ego
 And let her knoDbw
 I was looking through Eher.
 GI’ll Dnever stop Abelieving
 GAnd you, Dnever stop Adreaming
 GI know I fell I cDould not stop
 AAnd now I am a laughing stock
 GI know that I Dlet you dAown
 I let you down
 AI Dstruggle with Git
 I’ll always Amake excuses for Eit
 If you Bmsaw me would you Gwave or Alook straight through me like a ghost?
 BmWould you even visit my Ggrave
 Do you Aeven Eknow if I’m alive?
 Who knows…
GI’ll nDever stop Abelieving etc
OUTRO (Whoa, whoa): C, Am, F, G
