If you can, you should try and learn to forgive yourself
          F       Bb          F       C        F       Bb
Night and day the world would try and make you someone else
           F   Bb           C     Dm
But you're not alone on the earth tonight
           F   Bb           C        F
No, you're not alone in the blinking light.

Oh, victory will be one and lost a thousand times
          F    Bb    F     C            F       Bb
So if you can, offer empathy, don't get lost in pride
    F            Bb                C    Dm
Oh, forgive your friends, they are only young
    F            Bb                  C      F
Oh, forgive your friends like you've always done.

(Chorus)

Oh, cause now it's exactly the time
     F           Dm  Bb 
To be out on your own again.
F                        Bb      Am        Bb            F

(Verse)
Bb         F    Bb      F      C         F       Bb

              F    Bb       F         C        F       Bb
Forgive them, too, they are more like you than you can tell.
          F    Bb            C       Dm
When they give advice, offer sympathy, 
             F       Bb           C           F
They're just showing you who they want you to be.

(Chorus)

Oh, now it's exactly the time
      F           Dm  Bb
To be out on your own again.
F                        Bb      Am        Bb            C     Csus
Oh, now it's exactly the time to turn your head from the past.

(Bridge)
                  F        Bb            Dm         Bb
And I can spend a lifetime searching for someone to blame
F              Bb               C
And don't look back, don't feel ashamed.
                  F        Bb            Dm         Bb
And I can spend a lifetime searching for someone to blame
F              Bb               C        Csus
And don't look back, don't feel ashamed.

(Chorus)
F                        Bb
Oh, now it's exactly the time
      F           Dm  Bb 
To be out on your own again.
F                        Bb      Am        Bb
Oh, now it's exactly the time to turn your head 
F                        Bb
Oh, now it's exactly the time
      F           Dm  Bb 
To be out on your own again.
F                        Bb      Am        Bb            F
Oh, now it's exactly the time to turn your head from the past.
