A                            E
Where in the world's the forgotten?
F#m                           C#
They're lost inside your memory
D                                       A
You're dragging on, your heart's been broken
    G                      E
As we all go down in history

Where in the world did the time go?
It's where your spirit seems to roam
Like losing faith to our abandon
Or an empty hallway from a broken home

Chorus:
F#m               A
Well don't look away
         D               A
From the arms of a bad dream
F#m          C#
Don't look away
     D                                   E
Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

I don’t feel strange, it’s more like haunted
Another moment trapped in time
I can’t quite put my finger on it
But it’s like a child that was left behind

So where in the world’s the forgotten?
Like soldiers from a long lost war
We share the scars from our abandon
And what we remember becomes folklore

Chorus

A            E           C#         D
Don’t look away from the arms of a moment
Don’t look away from the arms of tomorrow
Don’t look away from the arms of a moment
                         E        A
Don’t look away from the arms of love

Chorus

Don’t look away from the arms of a moment
Don’t look away from the arms of tomorrow
Don’t look away from the arms of a moment
Don’t look away from the arms of love
