E C#m7 G#m A Life is like a circus wheel E C#m7 G#m A And I never know how to feel E You're still livin' in the way back then C#m7 G#m A But I never meant to hurt you or to lose a friend E Cause times gone by on a runaway train C#m7 G#m A And there's nothing we can do to bring it back again A B But you, you're looking at me G#m Just say what you want A Just say what you need A B Cause I, was meant to be free G#m And come as I go A And go as I please Chorus: A B Did you think I'd stay? G#m Well you should turn the other way A Cause we're never going back again A B All you did was stay G#m Holding on to yesterday A Well it's never coming back again Life, a couple hundred miles away And I, remember you like it was yesterday So, why Why you looking at me? It's not what you want It’s not what you need Chorus A You can stay in the past B You can live a lie Say I've changed Call me cold G#m Call me what you like A And never know what it's like on the other side A Oh, you can stay in the past B You can live a lie Say I've changed Call me cold G#m Call me what you like A And never know what it's like on the other side Chorus: Did you think I’d stay? Well, you should turn the other way 'Cause we’re never going back again All you did was stay Holding on to yesterday Well, it’s never coming again You can stay in the past You can live a lie Say I’ve changed, call me cold Call me what you like And never know what it’s like On the other side Never know what it’s like On the other side, oh You can stay in the past You can live a lie Say I’ve changed, call me cold Call me what you like And never know what it’s like On the other side Never know what it’s like On the other side You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  C#m7  E  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
