[G] [D] [B] [C] [G] [D] [B] [C]
[G]Where in the world’s the [D]forgotten?
[Em]They’re lost inside your [B]memory
[C]You’re dragging on, your heart’s been [G]broken
As [F]we all go down in [D]history


[G]Where in the world did the [D]time go?
[Em]It’s where your spirit seems to [B]roam
[C]Like losing faith to our [G]abandon


[Em]Well don’t look [G]away
From the [C]arms of a bad [G]dream
[Em]Don’t look [B]away
Some[C]times you’re [D]better lost than to be seen


[G] [D] [B] [C] [G] [D] [B] [C]
[G]I don’t feel strange, it’s more like [D]haunted
[Em]Another moment trapped in [B]time
[C]I can’t quite put my finger [G]on it
But it’s [F]like a child that was left [D]behind


[G]So where in the world’s the [D]forgotten?
[Em]Like soldiers from a long lost [B]war
[C]We share the scars from our [G]abandon
And [F]what we remember becomes [D]folklore


[Em]Well don’t look [G]away
From the [C]arms of a bad [G]dream
[Em]Don’t look [B]away
[C]Sometimes you’re better lost than to be [D]seen


[G]Well don’t look [D]away, from the [B]arms of a [C]moment
[G]Don’t look [D]away, from the [B]arms of [C]tomorrow
[G]Well don’t look [D]away, from the [B]arms of a [C]moment
Don’t look away, from the [D]arms of
[G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D]Love…


[G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
Well don’t look [G]away, from the [C]arms of a bad [G]dream
[Em]Don’t look [B]away
[C]Sometimes you’re better lost than to be [D]seen


[G]Well don’t look [D]away, from the [B]arms of a [C]moment
[G]Don’t look [D]away, from the [B]arms of [C]tomorrow
[G]Well don’t look [D]away, from the [B]arms of a [C]moment
Don’t look [C]away, from the [D]arms of [G] [D]love [B] [C] [G]
