Intro:

D5/A  A*
D/A   A   E
 
 
Verse 1:
N.C.        D6/A A
I thought I knew you
      D/A         A E
But I didn't know myself
              Dsus2/A A
Went down the wrong   road
               C#m
Leading to the past
 
N.C.          D6/A A
I know you're try--ing
D/A          A    E
To rearrange your mind
         Dsus2/A A
But when you're  lying
                   C#m
Do you laugh in my face

Chorus:
N.C.   E   D   A
  Turn back
              E   D   A
Turn back the pages
E   D         A                    E   D   A
Who remembers names, who remembers faces
     E   D   A
Turn back
                     E   D   A
Don't drive yourself crazy
E      D    A                    E   D   A
Life's too short for ritualistic chases
 
E
 
 
Verse 2:
N.C.    D6/A A
Maybe tomor--row
       D/A      A       E
You'll find the time to cry
            Dsus2/A A
And in your sor-----row
                            C#m
You'll see the mirror never lies
N.C.          D6/A A
Just like the last time
    D/A      A       E
You tried to pull me down
            Dsus2/A A
You are the past    time
                            C#m
And you're blind and deaf besides
 
 
Chorus:
N.C.      E   D   A
  So turn back
              E   D   A
Turn back the pages
E   D         A                    E   D   A
Who remembers names, who remembers faces
     E   D   A
Turn back
                     E   D   A
Don't drive yourself crazy
E      D    A                    E   D   A
Life's too short for ritualistic chases

E
 
 
Verse 3:
N.C.     D6/A A
  No use deny-ing
D/A A      E
You wasted time
              Dsus2/A A
And caused me cry-----ing
                      C#m
And the bitterness to hide
N.C.  D6/A   A
 Just trying to prove
      D/A  A      E
Don't need nobody else
Dsus2/A         A
You're bound to lose
             C#m
Lying to yourself
 
 
Chorus:
N.C.      E   D   A
  So turn back
              E   D   A
Turn back the pages
E   D         A                    E   D   A
Who remembers names, who remembers faces
     E   D   A
Turn back
                     E   D   A
Don't drive yourself crazy
E      D    A                    E   D   A
Life's too short for ritualistic chases
 
 
Outro:
          E       D   A
Turn back turn back           x12
