How Soon We Forget

A      D/F   A      D/F  A
Hmmmmmmmmmmm Ohhhhhhhhhh


[Verse]
E                               A
Every time I think I got it all figured out
E                                                       A  B  C
Then I draw a blank and my whole world crashes down
C#                                      F#
So many people have got it worse than me
G                               F#    E              D
But that could change tomorrow, ain't no guarantee


[Chorus]
A
How soon we forget
E
To count every blessing
F#                      D       G        A         E  D
If you think you got it bad take a look around
A
How soon we forget
E
That life is one big lesson
F#              G                               D
Still we make the same mistakes time and time again
A                    D/F  A
How soon we forget


[Verse]
E                              A
Got a friend of mine who says he's run all out of luck
E                               A                       B       C
But he'll be fine, 'cause he just ain't drunk enough
C#                                 F#
The world is empty when you're slammin' those shots down
G                            F#         E                                D
How can you be happy, son when the devil's hangin' 'round


[Chorus]
A
How soon we forget
E
To count every blessing
F#                      D       G        A         E  D
If you think you got it bad take a look around
A
How soon we forget
E
That life is one big lesson
F#              G                               D
Still we make the same mistakes time and time again
A     D/F#       A
How soon we forget
A                       F#
How soon we forget

C                                       G  F# F     G  F# E
If you got the will you can find a way
A
How soon we forget, oh, baby


[Chorus]
A
How soon we forget
E
To count every blessing
F#                      D       G        A         E  D
If you think you got it bad take a look around
A
How soon we forget
E
That life is one big lesson
F#                G                               D
Still we make the same mistakes time and time again
F#                         G+                    D
There's a message to this madness here my friend
G               D                       F
Will we ever learn before the story ends
