[Intro] F  C/E  Dm
        Am  G  Dm  F
        Am  G

F   C/E      Dm
Ten times removed
                F       C/E    Dm
I forget about where it all began
F            C/E  Dm
Bastard son of a bastard son of
F             C/E          Dm
A wild eyed child of the sun
     Am       G
And right as rain
Dm           F          Am       G
I'm not the same but I feel the same
   Dm      F
I feel nothing

F                 C/E   Dm
Holding back the fool again
F                 C/E     Dm
Holding back the fool pretends
F            C/E     Am           G
I forget to forget, nothing is important
F                 C/E   Dm
Holding back the fool again

F  C/E       Dm
I sensed my loss
           F       C/E    Dm
Before I even learned to talk
  F C/E Dm
And I remember my birthdays
F           C/E     Dm
Empty party afternoons won't come back
F                C/E    Dm
Holding back the fool again
F                C/E      Dm
Holding back the fool pretends
F            C/E     Am           G
I forget to forget, nothing is important
F                 C     G   Am G/B
Holding back the fool again
C    Dm     Am  C   F  G
I forget to forget me
Am    G      C           Dm  C
I forget to forget, you see
F       G     Am        G/B  C Dm
Nothing is important to me
F C/E      Dm
I knew my loss
F    C/E   Dm
Before I even learned to speak
    F    C/E      Dm
And all along, I knew it was wrong
       F           C/E
But I played along
         Dm
With my birthday song

F                 C/E   Dm
Holding back the fool again
F                 C/E     Dm
Holding back the fool pretends
F            C/E     Am           G
I forget to forget, nothing is important
F                 C/E   Dm
Holding back the fool again
