Forget the world
B E
'Cause it really doesn't matter
C# E
When I called you on that Saturday night
B F#
I didn't need the world
B F#
Forget the world
B E
Though I must admit I worried
C# E B F#
You're in such an awful hurry to escape the world
E F#
Oh but there's no need to run away just yet
B F#
Forget the world
B E
But it never gives up the moving
C# E B F#
What exactly are you proving by ignoring it?
B F#
Forget the world
B E
You just answered your own question
C# E
It always goes the same direction
B F#
Why bother exploring it?
F# E
Looking in between the cracks
F# E
Everything you've seen is attractive
G#m C# E
And the girls with pretty faces know
F#
There's not much more to life
B G#m B E
So don't repent, candy bar sinners
B F# E
And some things you can't save
B G#m B E
All in all, we're always beginners
B F# E
Looking for the scenic route to hell
F# G#m
Or just a quick way back to the grave
G#m F# Fm E
B F#
Forget the world
B E
You and I don't really need it
C# E
And there's no way to defeat it
B F#
So just push it aside
B F#
Forget the world
B E
You can't run away forever
C# E
But I say better now than ever
B F#
Let's have fun tonight
B G#m B E
I'm still young and already I'm bitter
B F# E
So something must be wrong
B G#m B E
I may quit but I'm not a quitter
B F# E
I just like moving on
B G#m B E
So go on, handlebar tenors
B F# E
And sing your songs on high
B G#m B E
Soon will come the harshest winter
E F# E
And I can't take the coldness of your shoulder
F#
When I need a place to cry
G#m F# Fm E
B F#
Forget the world
B E
'Cause soon enough it will forget you
C# E
And that really doesn't fit you
B F#
You're a worthwhile girl
B F#
Forget the world
B E
'Cause it really doesn't need you
C# E
At least not as much as I do
B F#
Let's forget the world
