[C]　[D]　[Em]　[Bm]　[C]　[D]　[Em]

 

[C]Don't try to [D]make yourself [Em]remember, [Bm]darling

[C]Don’t look for[D] me; I'm just a [G]story you've been [Em]told

[D]So [C]let’s [D]pretend a little [Bm]longer[Em]

'Cause when we're [Am]gone, everything [C]goes on[D]

 

[C]Well, you were staring at the [Em]window

And I [C]said, "I wanna take you to the [Em]sea

[C]And when I'm better, we'll do [Em]everything"

I gotta stop [C]makin' promises I can't [Em]keep

 

But if [C]I was gone [G/B]tomorrow, won't the [Am]waves crash [G/B]on?

Is it [C]selfish that I’m [G/B]happy as we [Am]pass the setting [D]sun?

Someday [C]I’ll be [G/B]overcast, but you won't [Am]have to [D]cry

[C]’Cause we'll do the [Bm]grieving, [D#]while I'm by your side, I said:

 

[C]Don't try to [D]make yourself [Bm]remember, [Dm]darling

[C]Don’t look for [D]me; I'm just a [G]story [Bm]you've been [Em]told[D]

So [C]let's [D]pretend a little [Em]longer[Bm]

'Cause when we're [Am]gone, everything [C]goes on

 

[D]　[Em]　[Bm]　[C]　[D]　[Em]

 

[C]And I'm so scared of getting [Em]used to this

All the [C]vines that keep you tethered in your [Em]room

[C]Well, someday [D]both of us are [Em]leaving here

[D]But for now, [C]I'll just [D]bring the sea to [G]you, oh-oh-oh[Em]

 

[D]Will you [C]meet me in the [G/B]daylight like we [Am]did [G/B]before?

Then, [C]I felt you on my [G/B]shoulder, and you weren't [Am]suffering [D]anymore

You said, "I'm [C]sorry that you [G/B]worried," but don't [Am]　[D]apologize

I [C]told you to [G/B]forget me, but you [D#]stayed by my [D]side when I said:

 

[C]Don't try to [D]make yourself [Em]remember, [Bm]darling

[C]Don’t look for[D] me; I'm just a [G]story you've been [Em]told

[D]So [C]let’s [Cm]pretend a little [Bm]longer[Em]

And when [Am]we're gone, oh, [C]oh-oh

Everything goes on
