Intro: B,    F#,     E,    F#   x4       

          B         F#    E             F#            
There’s a world container with your name on it 
and a billion ways to go berserk
when the country quits on you it must be dinner
and the Himmler on this one is, there’s no dessert
         E                 F#        
(he’s the one who couldn’t imagine 
all the people living life in peace, yoo hoo oo oo oo)
 B                    F#    E      F#
Good news! You get to vanish
go to Cleveland, be an indie smash
      E                     F#
the good news is now you’re smaller
the bad news is you can be smaller than that
  B         F#           E           F#
Go suck some souls, be a reader, get used
laugh at a funeral or two
laugh and laugh til all the chameleons turn black 
laugh and laugh til you’re told, ‘Please don’t come back’
    E                          F#
then fake incredulous, say, ‘I just can’t believe! 
How’d it get this late so early
     B             F#                 E       F#      
say, ‘Ain’t life a grand’ and ‘I’m in awe of y’all’
then drop into your haunted bunk
 E                             F#
go to your touchless times out where the water’s drying
go past the ‘No Attractions Past This Point’ sign
B                F#            E             F#
what you’ll find there are all flaws in progress
E                                              F#           B F# E F#       
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget
yea, all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget

B     F#    E    F#        x4

    E                                 F#
Yea, I‘ve faked incredulous, said, ‘I just can’t believe.
How’d it get this late so early’
      B             F#                E       F#
said, ‘Ain’t life a grand’ and ‘I’m in awe of y’all’
I’ve dropped into my haunted bunk
   E                                       F#   
been to the touchless times, out where the water’s drying
been past the ‘No Attractions Past This Point’ sign
  B          F#           E             F#
what we have here are all flaws in progress 


  E                                          F#             B F# E F#
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget 
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget
