I'll remember someday
                    Bm
All the chances we took

We're so close
                             E
to something better left unknown

We're so close

to something better left unknown

The Beatles or The Rolling Stones
D          A
Oh seriously
        C#m                         D
You're gonna make mistakes you're young

Come on baby play me something

A                     E
Come on baby play me something
E                    F#m
Like here comes the sun

Don't go
Stay with the all-unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took

We're so close
To something better left unknown
We're so close
To something better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones

Chorus:
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"

Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"

Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"
