Note that when playing the musical intermissions when playing the chords they
tend to drop the "E" note on the "G" string down a semi tone to the 8th fret,
making it a D# note, I'll quickly tab that so you know what I mean.

Don't use this as a guide to the strumming pattern, just find that yourself
(I'm horrible at trying to say how to strum, to me it just comes naturally).
You don't have to do it "by the book" either, mess around with it a little,
put some of your own favorite frills on the song.
By the way, the verses and the bridge are palm muted with the occasional lift
of the palm whilst strumming... Once again, find your own way of doing it,
I'm not going to be any help with that haha.
EDo you ever wonder Ahow you have gotten thC#mis farB  
ELife has a habit of lAeaving a wound and a C#mscarB  
Well the Ethings that have happened have tAold you the way it sC#mhould beB  
And I C#mtry to forget cos toAmorrow is never the Bsame
As I C#mwalk to the light but the Adarkness is calling mBy name
Don't looEk back, moment is Agone
Feel like you've C#mleft and moved Bon
Don't looEk back now that you're Ahere
All of the C#mwords that you Bsaid
Don't look bacEkA  C#m  B  
EThere comes a time when we Aneed to forgive and lC#met goB  
The Eflowers that are choked by the Athorns they are trying tC#mo growB  
Well you C#msay that you're nothing, it's Aall that you've ever beBen told
But your C#mpast's not your future, I Awant you to know that thBey're wrong
DLife is too short to hold on
Turn my back and move A2on
Now that I've found there's Ea way
There's Dnothing for me way back here
So I'm looking aA2head
I place this all back in yEour time.

E A C#m B

Do you ever wonder how you have gotten this far

E A C#m B

Life has a habit of leaving a wound and a scar

E A C#m B

Well the things that have happened have told you the way it should be

C#m A B

And I try to forget cos tomorrow is never the same

C#m A B

As I walk to the light but the darkness is calling my name

E A

Don't look back, moment is gone

C#m B

Feel like you've left and moved on

E A

Don't look back now that you're here

C#m B

All of the words that you said

E A C#m B

Don't look back

E A C#m B

There comes a time when we need to forgive and let go

E A C#m B

The flowers that are choked by the thorns they are trying to grow

C#m A B

Well you say that you're nothing, it's all that you've ever been told

C#m A B

But your past's not your future, I want you to know that they're wrong

Life is too short to hold on

Turn my back and move on

Now that I've found there's a way

There's nothing for me way back here

So I'm looking ahead

I place this all back in your time.
