Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
palm mute the open b string and play 16th notes (tremelo picking)
Verse
I want to be forgotten,
and I don't want to be reminded.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.
Repeat chords...
I wanna be beside her.
She wanna be admired.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.
Break
Oh dear, is it really all true?
Did they offend us and they want it to sound new?
Top ten ideas for countdown shows...
Whose culture is this and does anybody know?
I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess,"
But no one comes in and yes, you're alone...
You don't miss me, I know.
Oh Tennessee, what did you write?
I come together in the middle of the night.
Oh that's an ending that I can't write, 'cause
I've got you to le_______t me down.
Intro again...
Verse
I want to be forgotten,
and I don't want to be reminded.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.
I want to be beside her.
She wanna be admired.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet...
Sounds good to me
