[F#]
[B]Saw a [B/A]girl that I [Abm]used to know
I was [B]deep in [B/A]thought at the [Abm]time
[B]Didn't recognize her [Abm]face at first
'Cos I was pr[B]obably [B/A]looking at [Abm]mine
Yeah well [E]she was the only girl I've ever loved
But my [B]folks didn't [B/A]dig her so [Abm]much
I was yo[F#]ung, it was [E]serious
And to [F#]me she was the [E]world (she was my world now)
[F#]I thought I'd never l[E]ive without her but[F#]
I got by in [Abm]time
n.C.
Well let me tell ya now
[B]I saw a [B/A]guy that I [Abm]used to know
[B]Man he's [B/A]changed so [Abm]much
[B]I think it [B/A]hurt him to [Abm]say hello
He [B]hardly [B/A]opened his [Abm]mouth
Yeah well [E]he was my best friend a few years ago
[B]Truly [B/A]insepara[Abm]ble
We were [F#]young (young), and [E]full of ideas,
We were [F#]gonna rule this [E]whole world
[F#]But something happened I [E]didn't know why
And [F#]well that's the way that it [Abm]goes
[B]I suppose
[C#m]What you say, [Ebm]what you do
Don't mean [B]nothing (nothing) ([B7]nothing at all) yeah
[C#m]And all the bonds you [Ebm]make between
Can be [B]broken anytime you [B7]want, now
[Eb]Please tell me if my phi[Abm]losophy's wrong
I've [Eb]got to know the [Abm]truth
[E]I don't mean to [B]fail anyone but
[C#m]You know it's somethin' I [F#]do o-o-oh[B]
So [B/A]nice to [Abm]see you tonight
And I'm[B] so [B/A]glad that you [Abm]came[B]
I'm [B/A]sure the people all [Abm]standing outside say
[B]'Sure [B/A]feel the [Abm]same'
Yeah [E]my point is in a roundabout way
In [B]time you will [B/A]always [Abm]forget
'Cos the [F#]memories (memories) that are [E]shouting me on
To [F#]me they're every[E]thing (they're everything now)
[F#]I know they always [E]will be mine
And [F#]no-one can take them a[Abm]way
