INTRO

VERSE 1
D5                                               B5
Thought I ran into you down on the street
D5                                         B5
Then it turned out to only be a dream
G5              D5*                    F#5                    B5     A5
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
G5                   D5*                   F#5                      B5  A5
She went away and then I took a different path
G5              D5*                        F#5                    B5    A5
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
G5                                   A5*
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

D5                                                       B5
Seems that she disappeared without a trace
D5                                   B5
Did she ever marry or what's his face?
G5              D5*                    F#5                   B5     A5

Remember, whatever
A5*                     D5*
It seems like forever ago
G5                 D5*
Remember, whatever
A5*                     D5*
It seems like forever ago
G5                 D5*
The regrets are useless
           F#5   
In my mind
                           B5           
She's in my head
        A5
I must confess
G5                 D5*
The regrets are useless
           F#5
In my mind
                           B5
She's in my head
                  A5
From so long ago

Go, go, go, go, go

VERSE 3
G5                  A5*              D5*
And in the darkest night
G5                A5*            D5*
If my memory serves me right
G5               A5*                D5*
I'll never turn back time
G5                     A5*
Forgetting you, but not the time.

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
