      F
Hey you!
          G            Am
Remember me? Remember love?
            F
Remember trying to stay together?
    F                G
My time, you took it all.
              Am
You tried to see.

               C                          F
You tried to bring yourself up without involving me.
          G                  Am
It isn't fair, to have your way,
            C
To try and get up and go and na na na na now
 F
can't you see,
          G                Am
It isn't fair to have your way,
                   C
But I'm trying to get your attention and
I need you to know that.

F               G
Hey you! Hey you!
Can't you make this sane?
Em                  F
I know, I know, I know you ain't
the one to play the game.
F           G
Now I know I'm never gonna go your way.
Em                 F
If you go, now I know, I know know know.

Chorus:
   F
Forever we tried to make it right,
    G
Together we saw the end in sight,
      Am
I'm tired of fighting the good fight,
    C
If you say the word then I'll say goodbye.
   F
Forever I see you and me,
   G
Forever I'll try for you and I,
      Am
No I never believed in their insight,
       C
Just another good reason to get it right.

I don't want to turn around
So come on, baby
Come on and try to let it out
Let go
We're still the same
So come on, baby
Trigger the sound, let's figure it out
Let's get back to where we started out

Hey you! Hey you!
Can't you make this sane?
I know, I know, I know
You ain't the one to play the game
Now I know I'm never gonna go your way
If you go, well, now I know
I know, know, know

Chorus

F         G               Em             F
Go go go go get out, get out of my memory,
F         G              Em                  F
No no no not tonight, I don't have the energy.
F         G              Em               F
Go go go go get out, get out of my memory,
F         G              Am               C
No no no not tonight, oh not tonight, oh not tonight

Chorus

Forever we tried to make it right
But together we saw the end in sight
I'm tired of fighting the good fight
If you say the word, then I'll say goodbye
Forever I see you and me
Forever I'll try for you and I
No, I never believed in their insight
Just another good reason to get it right

Forever we tried, forever we tried, yeah
Forever we tried, forever we tried, yeah
Forever we tried, forever we, forever we tried, yeah
Forever we tried, forever we tried, yeah
