X - means don't strum that string

The chord names stay different throughout thew song, but the
way they are played varies. See the hints at the bottom if
you want to perfect playing this wonderful song.


Repeat this chord progression throughout every verse:

G Bm C D
Out my window A memory
G Bm C D
I'm dyin' inside I know the way it should be
G Bm C Abm7
Though it was right In front of me
Am7 D
It's something I just couldn't see

Your lonely face, your lonely eyes
This is something you can't disguise
It's not just me, you feel it too
'Cause you know I belong with you

Prechorus

D Bm7 Am G
Look at where we're going tell me what can I say
C D
We're tracing our footsteps, we're going the same way

Chorus

G Em C D
Madeline, here we go around again
G Em C D
You know it, I know it, don't try to pretend
G F Em D
You know it could be so much better than it's been
C D
Aoooooooooooooh, here we go around again

Verse

I was empty inside, but I just didn't know
You were my ten thousand roses and I let you go
Before I make the same mistake just hold me in your arms
We belong you know it in your heart

Prechorus

Look at where we're going, no doubt in my mind
Can't you see It's meant to be ooohooohoooooh my

Repeat Chorus

(Now there's this funky bridge part with no words, and I
Don't hear any guitar, so I don't play anything)

Prechorus

Look at where we're going, tell me what can I say
We're tracing our footsteps, we're going the same way, oh my

Repeat Chorus 2x and fade out.

Some hints:
1) when you go to the chorus, it's a lot easier if you play
the C chord as X32010

2) At the beginning of the prechorus, play the D chord
as (10)(10)(11)(12)(12)(10) (I used parenthesis because
there are double digit fret numbers)

3) In the acoustic version, the Bm chord is played as 799777

4) Also in the acoustic version, instead of going into the funky
bridge part the go "here we go around again..." and hold it out.
For those of you wondering, just hold the C chord.

There it is! Hope you enjoy playing my favorite song!!!
