[Intro]
C    G    Bm    D

[Verse 1]
C
Of course i do
                  G
Try not to think about you

But of course D do
Bm
Have you tried moving
   D
on without you
                   C
It′s impossible to do
                     G
You're impossible to lose

[Pre-chorus]
                 Bm
Subconsciously I thought
                    D
I wasn′t allowed to
           C
I was just waiting
                 G
for some kind of sign
                   Bm
That there's not a world
                       D
where it's not you and I

[Chorus]
N.C.            C
But this is the end
                 G
The plot doesn′t twist
             Bm
You′ll never love me
               Em
again like you did
                 C
You might always be
          G
Someone I miss
         Bm
But it's okay if
                Em
you forget I exist
         C      G
Forget I exist
         Bm     D
Forget I exist

[Verse 2]
C
Of course I tried
                  G
Blaming it on the timing

But at the time
Bm
Life was hard and you
             D
helped me survive it
                 C
So I could never hate you
                 G
Or let someone replace you
                     Bm
But of course I tried
            D
Of course I tried

[Pre-chorus]
                 C
We′re not longer lovers and
                 G
we're not longer friends
               Bm
Now all that′s left
                    D
is being strangers again

[Chorus]
                C
But this is the end
                 G
The plot doesn′t twist
             Bm
You'll never love me
               Em
again like you did
                 C
You might always be
          G
Someone I miss
         Bm
But it′s okay if
                Em
you forget I exist
         C      G
Forget I exist
         Bm     D
Forget I exist
