              B
Look into the eyes of a child, it's magic
G#m
Once in a while
                        D#m
You don't know what to say
                   F#
You throw it all away
                 B
Hold onto your dreams, you can find them
              G#m
Take a look around
                 D#m
Remember who you are
                            F#
You don't have to look that far

     E
I'd given up on happy endings
     Em
You know that it won't last

Chorus:
            B   G#m
Don't look back
            E   F#
Don't look back
            B   G#m
Don't look back
            E   F#
Don't look back

Reach into your soul, it's amazing
Open up your eyes
And face another day
And find a better way
Hang on to your heart, it's surprising
It's easy to believe
If you lose it in the end
And find it all again

It's turning nightmares into dreams
And fear is fading fast

Chorus

How can I go on pretending?
Living in the past

Chorus:
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
(Yeah, don't look back)

How can I go on pretending?
Giving up on happy endings
Even though your heart is breaking
Love is there, it's for the taking
How can I go on pretending?
Giving up on happy endings
Even though your heart is breaking
Love is there, it's for the taking
