[Verse 1]
G                             Cadd9 G
I love the songs I hated when I was young
                                Cadd9  G
Because they take me back where I come from
     C
When every broken heart seemed like the end
     G            C       G         D
When everyone was someone different then


[Verse 2]
    G                     Cadd9   G
But I can't be alone in a crowded room
                                       Cadd9  G
Where my thoughts, they run like water down a flume
          C
There are days when I will let the darkness rise
        G                C           G     D
I don't always choose to stay on the sunny side


[Chorus]
Em              C   G    C            G
Sometimes I prete - eh - end we never met (ooh)
G  D/F#  Em   D      C     G               D   Dsus4  D
Be-cause it's harder to forgive than to forget
               C      D     G
Sometimes it's harder to forgive

[Verse 3]
G                          Cadd9  G
Yes, my life has seen some wasted time
                                Cadd9   G
I have suffered for the peace inside my mind
    C
And some things are better left unsaid
      G                    C                      G       D
While some things work out different when they're in your head


[Verse 4]
    G                      Cadd9   G
But I'm not sorry for the things I say
                              Cadd9   G
Sometimes I let my mouth just run away
    C
And I believe that all souls are born kind
         G        C          G       D
And that all love lost comes back in time


[Chorus]
Em              C   G    C            G
Sometimes I prete - eh - end we never met (ooh)
G  D/F#  Em   D      C     G               D   Dsus4  D
Be-cause it's harder to forgive than to forget
               C      D     G
Sometimes it's harder to forgive


[Verse 5]
    G
And even if the world is really round
    Em
And all the maps are printed upside down
   Am
So if you stand in one place for too long
D
Everything around you will be gone


[Verse 6]
      G
Well, I'm not gonna miss you when I go
        Em
Now the part of me that's left wants you to know
     Am
That I'm not gonna jump towards the light
    D                              G     D/F#
The ones who believe choose the ni-ight


[Outro]
Em    Am    D
Oooh, ooooh
G   Em   Am   D
Ooh,     ooh
G   Em
Ah, ooh
Am    D    G
Ah    Ah
