Verse 1:
G                       C     D            
  All we seem to do is talk about it
G                  Em
  we always end up shouting about it
Am                               D
  there was a time when we could overcome it
Am                               D
  But it's too late to say we'll just forget it

Verse 2:
G                       C      D
  It's too bad that we had to break up
G                             Em
  and too much said for us to ever make up
Am                          D
  I could get by if I could just forget you
Am                          D 
  but things remind me and I feel so sad now

Chorus:
The Chorus is an instrumental chord sequence built around G - Em - C - D (2 bars for each chord)

Verse 3:
G                       C      D
  Same old feeling everytime I see you
G                    Em
  and every avenue I walk I'm behind you
Am                             D
  your back is turned and your eyes are closed girl
Am                             D                   Bm
  you move in circles that are out of my reach now

Middle 8:
Bm 
  I could say I'm sorry
Bm
  but it's not the point is it?
Em
  you want to play your games and
C                         D
  you don't mind if I get high!

  and too much said for us to ever make up
Am                          D
  I could get by if I could just forget you
