I Will Never Forget Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [E]sat in the swamp with a [G]little pink piggy
Who [D]loved roller-skating and [E]playing pretend
The boy that she loved
was a [G]real snackmaster
The [D]world was a beach ball
and [E]we were all friends
Then he died alone and the [G]last time I saw her
It [D]looked like the reaper
had [E]rapped on her door
She said "Do you remember
sing[G]ing Ice Ice Baby with [D]me
Laying down on the [E]reef bathroom floor?"

[Chorus 1]
[F]How could I ever for[C]get?
I could never for[G]get
I will never for[E]get
[F]How could I ever for[C]get?
I could never for[G]get
I will never for[E]get

[Verse 2]
[E]Jimmy and Johnny just [G]stare at each other
While [D]their mother hangs in the [E]Holiday Inn
Your funeral on your [G]son's seventh birthday
[D]Is the worst thing you could [E]ever give him
I bet he'd like flowers, bal[G]loons, and a card
"Uncon[D]ditionally yours,
all my [E]love, from your mom"
Much more than wearing that [G]little black suit
And [D]saying goodbye for[E]ever to you

[Verse 3]
I [E]haven't forgotten the [G]times that I teased you
And [D]everyone else pointed
[E]at you and laughed
Permanent damage was [G]not my intention
But [D]I could not foresee the a[E]ftermath
of my [E]actions[E][E]

[Bridge 1]
I was so [E]small
Wanted to [F]grow in the [C]eyes of [G]my ene[A]mies
For awhile I felt [E]tall
But they [F]knocked me back [C]down
now I'm [G]here on my [A]knees

[Verse 4]
[E]Looking at my face in a [G]bed of pine needles
And [D]wondering if anyone
[E]stills knows my name
I turned full circle then an[G]other half circle
And [D]tried to go back the same [E]way
that I came
"Look alive, Dawson, [G]your heels are dragging
I [D]never knew anyone [E]could move so slow
You may be a hotshot now,
[G]but you are still a cow
[D]A big fat F, why don't y[E]ou just go home?"

[Verse 5]
I [E]guess that that means
I did [G]not make the team
I'll just [D]lay on the ground
and look [E]up at the trees
The old Bedford oak, the [G]tall evergreens
This is [D]not a joke, this is [E]not a dream
Not sleeping, just resting in [G]pieces
that I wish were [D]peaches
I saw your dad [E]later that day
Maybe he shot himself,
[G]could've been someone else
[D]Asked me to tell you what [E]he had to say

[Verse 6]
"You [E]don't have to end up
with [G]people who self destruct
[D]Go find a lover who [E]will never leave
Fear of abandonment, [G]self hate,
and discontent
[D]Will go away when you [E]let yourself grieve
And for[E]get about me,
for[E]get about me, for[E]get about me"

[Chorus 2]
[F]How could I ever for[C]get? I could never for[G]get
I will never for[E]get
[F]How could I ever for[C]get? I could never for[G]get
I will never for[E]get

[Chorus 3]
[F]How could I ever for[C]get? I could never for[G]get
I will never for[E]get
[F]How could I ever for[C]get? I could never for[G]get
I will never for[E]get
