 A  C#m  F#m  D

  A                C#m
I heard that you’re settled down,
        F#m                     D           A
That you found a girl and you’re married now.
                  C#m
I heard that your dreams came true,
          F#m                       D
Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you.
A                        C#m
Old friend, why are you so shy?
           F#m
Ain’t like you to hold back
    D
Or hide from the light.

      E                          F#m
   I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
       D
   But I couldn’t stay away,
   I couldn’t fight it.
          E
   I had hoped you’d see my face
        F#m                             D
   And that you’d be reminded that for me,
             C#m  F#m
   It isn’t over.

Chorus:
   A                 E            F#m   D
     Nevermind I’ll find someone like you,
             A               E        F#m  D
     I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
               A         E
     Don’t forget me, I beg,
         F#m         D
     I remember you said,
                    A
     “Sometimes it lasts in love,
          E                    F#m D
     But sometimes it hurts instead,
                   A
     Sometimes it lasts in love,
          E                    F#m     D
     But sometimes it hurts instead”, yeah.

A                 C#m
You’d know how the time flies,
    F#m                 D
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
         A                  C#m
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
      F#m                      D
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.

      E                          F#m
   I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
       D
   But I couldn’t stay away,
   I couldn’t fight it,
          E
   I had hoped you’d see my face
        F#m                             D
   And that you’d be reminded that for me,
             C#m   F#m
   It isn’t over.

Chorus:
   A                 E            F#m  D
     Nevermind I’ll find someone like you,
             A               E        F#m  D
     I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
                A          E
     “Don’t forget me”, I begged,
         F#m         D
     I remember you said,
                    A
     “Sometimes it lasts in love,
          E                    F#m D
     But sometimes it hurts instead.”

    E
   Nothing compares,
   No worries or cares,
      F#m
   Regrets and mistakes they are memories made,
     A
   Who would have known
              Bm    A          D     E
   How bittersweet this would taste?

Chorus:
   A                 E            F#m   D
     Nevermind I’ll find someone like you,
             A               E        F#m  D
     I wish nothing but the best for you
               A         E
     Don’t forget me, I beg,
         F#m         D
     I remember you said,
                    A
     “Sometimes it lasts in love,
          E                    F#m D
     But sometimes it hurts instead,

   A                 E            F#m   D
     Nevermind I’ll find someone like you,
             A               E        F#m  D
     I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
                A          E
     “Don’t forget me”, I begged,
         F#m         D
     I remember you said,
                    A
     “Sometimes it lasts in love,
          E                    F#m D
     But sometimes it hurts instead,
                   A
     Sometimes it lasts in love,
          E                    F#m     D
     But sometimes it hurts instead”, yeah.
