 tend to drop the "E" note on the "G" string down a semi tone to the 8th fret,
making it a D note, I'll quickly tab that so you know what I mean.

 Don't use this as a guide to the strumming pattern, just find that yourself
 (I'm horrible at trying to say how to strum, to me it just comes naturally).
 You don't have to do it "by the book" either, mess around with it a little,
 put some of your own favorite frills on the song.
 By the way, the verses and the bridge are palm muted with the occasional lift
 of the palm whilst strumming... Once again, find your own way of doing it,
 I'm not going to be any help with that haha.
Do  you ever wonder how  you have gotten this  far
Life  has a habit of leaving  a wound and a scar
 Well the things  that have happened have told  you the way it should  be
 And I try  to forget cos tomorrow  is never the same
 As I walk  to the light but the darkness  is calling my  name
 Don't look  back, moment is gone
 Feel like you've left  and moved on
 Don't look  back now that you're here
 All of the words  that you said
 Don't look back
There  comes a time when we need  to forgive and let  go
 The flowers  that are choked by the thorns  they are trying to  grow
 Well you say  that you're nothing, it's all  that you've ever been  told
 But your past's  not your future, I want  you to know that they're  wrong
Life  is too short to hold on
 Turn my back and move on
 Now that I've found there's a  way
 There's nothing  for me way back here
 So I'm looking ahead
 I place this all back in your  time.

[E]Do you ever wonder [A]how you have gotten th[C#m]is far [B]
[E]Life has a habit of l[A]eaving a wound and a [C#m]scar    [B]
Well the [E]things that have happened have t[A]old you the way it s[C#m]hould be  [B]
And I [C#m]try to forget cos to[A]morrow is never the [B]same
As I [C#m]walk to the light but the [A]darkness is calling m[B]y name

Don't loo[E]k back, moment is [A]gone
Feel like you've [C#m]left and moved [B]on
Don't loo[E]k back now that you're [A]here
All of the [C#m]words that you [B]said
Don't look bac[E]k     [A]          [C#m]                 [B]

[E]There comes a time when we [A]need to forgive and l[C#m]et go    [B]
The [E]flowers that are choked by the [A]thorns they are trying t[C#m]o grow   [B]
Well you [C#m]say that you're nothing, it's [A]all that you've ever be[B]en told
But your [C#m]past's not your future, I [A]want you to know that th[B]ey're wrong

[D]Life is too short to hold on
Turn my back and move [A2]on
Now that I've found there's [E]a way
There's [D]nothing for me way back here
So I'm looking a[A2]head
I place this all back in y[E]our time.
