Verse 1:
          F5          C5             G5
I knew you once, you never knew me then.
               F5     C5             G5
Afraid to ever say I wanted to be friends,
                       A5             C5    G5
but now the years have passed, you're far away.
               A5       C5       G5
But suddenly I feel I'm not the same.
                      A5       C5                 G5
The walls are breaking down, I think I'm crackin' up,
        A5     C5              G5
I look around, everything's too much...

Chorus:
        F5         C5                G5
And the world is spinning much too fast,
           A5              F5                 C5                  G5
well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last.
   F5         C5               G5
The world is slipping from my grasp,
                      A5       C5             F5
I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind,
             G5            A5
you were the best I never had.

Verse 2:
         F5      C5              G5
Remember when I saw you in the hall?
                      F5           C5           G5
You passed right by my stare, not noticing at all.
             A5        C5          G5
If I had the guts, I'd catch your glance,
                  A5      C5     G5
but I am just the boy without a chance.
                      A5       C5                 G5
The walls are breaking down, I think I'm crackin' up,
        A5     C5              G5
I look around, everything's too much...


Chorus: 

        F5         C5                G5
And the world is spinning much too fast,
           A5              F5                 C5                  G5
well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last.
   F5         C5               G5
The world is slipping from my grasp,
                      A5       C5             F5
I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind,
             G5            F5   C5   G5
you were the best I never had.
           A5         F5
You're the best I never had

Chorus:
        F5         C5                G5
And the world is spinning much too fast,
           A5              F5                 C5                  G5
well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last.
   F5         C5               G5
The world is slipping from my grasp,
                      A5       C5             F5
I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind,
             G5            F5
you were the best I never had.
           A5          F5
You're the best I never had.
          G5            F5
You're the best I never had.
    G5                 A5      C5              F5
I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind, 
             G5        
you were the best I never had.
