Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Use this time to step aside, and then look around with your feeble eyes,

use this time to forget me.

Use these days to lie awake, and feel the loss of my embrace,

but don't use anymore of me.

Chorus

And how do you say, and how do you say, I forgive you?

And how do you know, and how do you know, when to choose to,

and when to move along?

Verse 2

Use your hands to feel the men, I gave my plan and then off you ran

to find someone new who was not me.

Use your favourite photograph to play the recent mememory back,

are you still as cold as I am?

Chorus

And how do you say, and how do you say, I forgive you?

And how do you know, and how do you know, when to choose to,

and when to move along?

Bridge

Well it started off a simple black and blue, hidden behind the untrue.

But now it's surfacing, I need to be released, from the love that was you,

from the love that was you...

Chorus

And how do you say, and how do you say, I forgive you?

And how do you know, and how do you know, when to choose to?

Cuz I want to say, and I want to say, I forgive you...

and I want to know, yeah I want to know, when to choose to,

and when to move along...

And when to move along.
