C/G
C/G F/A C/G F/A x2

[Verse 1] (I Want You Back) 
0:20
         C/G            F/A  
Say, I remember how you felt 
        C/G  F/A
on that day
         C/G         F/A   
But I forget all the faces 
       C/G  F/A
except one
         C/G            
And what hurts the most 
        F/A
is that I'll never know
C/G                  F/A
What we could've been
      C/G             F/A   
But I guess that just means 
          C/G
it wasn't fate

[Verse 2] 
(I Don't Even Know Your Name) 
0:54
               C    
And I was like ooh, 
    F         C    F
you waited so long
    C          F    
Sometimes it's hard 
         C    F
to stand out
    C         C/B     
But you don't have to 
   Am7      Fmaj7
do anything else
           Fmaj7 G C
But be yourself,   woah, 
clap those hands!
C       F             C    F
Oh, you dressed up so nice
    C            F            C   F
But  all I could see was your eyes
         C     C/B      Am7    
Then the crowd came and pulled 
     Fmaj7
you away
              Fmaj7 G N.C.
Then you were gone,   woah, 
woah, yeah

[Chorus] 1:39
C             E              F    C
  And I don't even know your name
C         E              F     
  All I remember is that smile 
         C
  on your face
C           E             F    C
  And it'll kill me every day, no, 
  no, no
C               E             F  C
  Cause I don't even know your name
C             E             F  C
  No, I don't even know your name, 
  no

[Interlude] 2:09

Amazing, you look incredible

Don't even, I don't even, 
               F                   C
I don't even.. sing that out for me              
I don't even, 
                          F  C
