E5
They thought they could dispose of me
A5
They tried to make me small
E5
I suffered each indignity
A5
But now rise above it all

C#5
Yes, the price I paid was all I had
A5
But at last, I found release
        D5
And if something good can come from bad
A5
The past can rest in peace

E5
Oh if you see someone's hurt

And in need of a hand
A5
Don't forget me
E5
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
A5
You don't forget me

C#5
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
A5
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
E5
Please say that you won't;
B5                            E5
I pray that you don't forget me

F5
But forget every man who I ever met
             Bb5
'Cause they only lived to control
F5
For a kiss they paid a thousand
          Bb5
Yet they paid fifty cents for my soul

D5
They took their piece
Bb5
The price of fame that no one can repay
Eb5
Ah, but they didn't buy me when they bought my name
      C5 
And that is why I pray

F5
That when you see someone's hurt

And in need of a hand
     Bb5
You don't forget me
F5
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
     Bb5
You don't forget me

D5
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
        Bb5
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
F5
Please say that you won't;
C5                     F5
I pray that you don't forget me

Bb5
There are some in this world who have strength on their own
F5
Never broken or in need of repair
C#5
But there are some born to shine who can't do it alone
Eb5                               F5
So protect them and take special care
F#5
Take care

F#5
And don't forget me
B5
Please take care
F#5
And don't forget me
Eb5
When you look to the heavens with someone you love
B5
And a light shining bright from afar
F#5
Hope you see my face there
C#5
And then offer a prayer
B5
And please let me be
F#5
Let me be that star
