History Never Repeats Lyrics
by Split Enz
Intro: (Repeat figure below)
Gsus4add13-G5 etc.
History never repeats,
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
Gsus4add13-G5 etc.
Don't say the words you might regret,
I lost before, you know I can't forget.
There was a girl I used to know,
She dealt my love a savage blow,
I was so young, too blind to see,
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.
Intermezzo1:
D - E/D - F/D ? C/D ? G/D ? A/D
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 ? A#/G - Dm7/G ? C/G ? D/G (x3)
Never repeats,
Never repeats,
Never repeats.
