G6sus4 G5
History never repeats,
                             Asus2
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
G6sus4 G5
Don't say the words you might regret,
                                   Asus2
I lost before, you know I can’t forget.
            A      Em      G
There was a girl I used to know,
Dm           A      Em     G
She dealt my love a savage blow,
Dm       A          Em       G
I was so young, too blind to see,
Dm     Fmaj7      G    Cadd9
But anyway that’s history.
G6sus4 G5
History never repeats,
                             Asus2
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
G6sus4 G5
Don't say the words you might regret,
                                   Asus2
I lost before, you know I can’t forget.
            A      Em      G
You say I always play the fool,
Dm           A      Em     G
I can't go on if that’s the rule,
Dm       A          Em       G
Better to jump than hesitate,
Dm     Fmaj7      G    Cadd9
I need a change and I can’t wait.
G6sus4 G5
History never repeats,
                             Asus2
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
G6sus4 G5
There’s a light shining in the dark,
                                   Asus2
Leading me on towards a change of heart.

G
History never repeats.
History never repeats.
            A      Em      G
Deep in the night it’s all so clear,
Dm           A      Em     G
I lie awake with great ideas,
Dm       A
Lurking about in no-man's land,
Dm     Fmaj7      G    Cadd9
I think at last I understand.
G6sus4 G5
History never repeats,
                             Asus2
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
G6sus4 G5
There’s a light shining in the dark,
                                   Asus2
Leading me on towards a change of heart.
G – A/G – Gm7 - Dm7/G – C/G – D/G (x3)
Never repeats,
Never repeats,
Never repeats.
