A E E7 A E E7

[Verse 1]
       A           E7
Can we go back to the beginning?
A             E7
  I think we should
        A              E
We are walking and our heads are spinning
    G      D
We feel so good

         A          E7
All your words are distant now
A                 E7
  I would ask you why
       A             E7
All I find are muted strings
         G                D
But how I try, and try, and try

[Chorus]
Dmaj7                     E
   I'll befriend you in reverse
                    Dmaj7
You know me way too well
                      E
Every time you see my face

It'll fade a little

Dmaj7                      E
   I'll befriend you in reverse
                   Dmaj7
The stories that I tell
                      Dbm
Will seep out of your ears

But it won't hurt a bit

Dmaj7            A
  I'll erase this, bit by bit

[Verse 2]
       E                        A
When I fade from you, I'm gonna do a damn good job
        E                 A
All the days and nights rewind
        A                  D             E
I can't stand to be either remembered or forgot
   G                   D
So soon enough, you'll find
                     Dmaj7
You never knew me at all

[Chorus]
                       E
I'll befriend you in reverse
                    Dmaj7
You know me way too well
                      E
Every time you see my face

It'll fade a little

Dmaj7                  Emaj7
  I'll befriend you in reverse
                   Dmaj7
The stories that I tell
                      Dbm7
Will seep out of your ears

But it won't hurt a bit

Dmaj7
Let this go
     A               Dmaj7
It's time to say goodbye
           A
You do not need to know me

Dmaj7
Let this go
     A               Dmaj7
It's time to say goodbye
            A
You do not love me

A        D
Let this go
E                          D
Say you, say you, say you love me

Dmaj7
Let this go
     A               Dmaj7
It's time to say goodbye
           A            E
You do not need to know me
