Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 I knew you once, you never knew me then.

 Afraid to ever say I wanted to be friends,

 but now the years have passed, you're far away.

 But suddenly I feel I'm not the same.

 The walls are breaking down, I think I'm crackin' up,

 I look around, everything's too much...

Chorus

 And the world is spinning much too fast,

 well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last.

 The world is slipping from my grasp,

 I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind,

 you were the best I never had.

Verse 2

 Remember when I saw you in the hall?

 You passed right by my stare, not noticing at all.

 If I had the guts, I'd catch your glance,

 but I am just the boy without a chance.

 The walls are breaking down, I think I'm crackin' up,

 I look around, everything's too much...

Chorus

 And the world is spinning much too fast,

 well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last.

 The world is slipping from my grasp,

 I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind,

 you were the best I never had.

 You're the best I never had

Chorus

 And the world is spinning much too fast,

 well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last.

 The world is slipping from my grasp,

 I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind,

 you were the best I never had.

 You're the best I never had.

 You're the best I never had.

 I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind,

 you were the best I never had.
