History never repeats,
                             A9
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
G4add13 - G5 etc.
Don't say the words you might regret,
                                   A9
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     F7M      G    C9
But anyway that?s history.

History never repeats, 
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
Don't say the words you might regret,
I lost before, you know I can?t forget.

You say I always play the fool,
I can't go on if that?s the rule,
Better to jump than hesitate,
I need a change and I can?t wait.

History never repeats,
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
There?s a light shining in the dark,
Leading me on towards a change of heart.

History never repeats.
History never repeats.

Deep in the night it?s all so clear,
I lie awake with great ideas,
Lurking about in no-man's land,
I think at last I understand.

History never repeats,
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
There?s a light shining in the dark,
Leading me on towards a change of heart.

G ? A/G ? Bb/G - Dm7/G ? C/G ? D/G (x3)

Never repeats,
Never repeats,
Never repeats.
