Rick Springfield - When God Forgets My Name
Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de
[Intro]
Em C G D Em C G D
[Verse]
Em C G D Em
Yeah I constantly wake up feeling somehow just the same as I did
C G D Em
And I'm always looking for someone else to blame, God forbid
C G D
Nothing changes but somehow it never stays the same
Em C G D Em
And I feel like the unpopular kid in a high school kickball game
C G D
Yeah, I know there can be no fire without a flame
Em C G D
As I look for the reason I've become what I became
Em C G D
When inside I know exactly the one who's to blame
Em C G
The insecure kid with regrets
[Chorus]
D Em C G
When God forgets my name (I will not let you sink and drown)
D Em C G
And I have to bear the pain (We are children as London Bridge falls down)
D Em C G
Am I supposed to play this game (We are one and I will not back down)
D Em C G
When God forgets my name
[Verse 2]
Em C G D Em
The years passed so fast I wasn't ready to be a man, but I was
C G D Em
And I went without a vision without a master plan into the jaws
C G D
Of my future like an unskilled artisan
Em C G D
Looking constantly behind me for the childhood bogeyman
Em C G D
My feet flying faster but I just never outran
Em C G D
The dream that had ended long before it began
Em C G D
And I realize my life is just a flash in the pan
Em C G
I'm alone when the sun finally sets
[Chorus 2]
D Em C G
When God forgets my name (I will not let you sink and drown)
D Em C G
And I have to bear the pain (We are children as London Bridge falls down)
D Em C G
Am I supposed to play this game (We are one and I will not back down)
D Em C G
When God forgets my name
[Bridge]
Em C G D Em
I longed to be someone the leader of the band for you
C G D Em
Nothing ever turned out exactly like Id planned so true
C G D
The ground trembled when I finally made my stand
Em C G
But I was lost in the smoke and cigarettes
[Chorus 3]
D Em C G
When God forgets my name (I will not let you sink and drown)
D Em C G
And I have to bear the pain (We are children as London Bridge falls down)
D Em C G
Am I supposed to play this game (We are one and I will not back down)
D Em C G
When God forgets my name
[Chorus 4]
D Em C G
When God forgets my name (I will not let you sink and drown)
D Em C G
And I have to bear the pain (We are children as London Bridge falls down)
D Em C G
Am I supposed to play this game (We are one and I will not back down)
D Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D Em
