[Intro]
D  E                   D  Em   C     D       D    E
      Hey hey hey hey!       Oooooooooooooh, oh...oh
 
D  Em   C  D
 
[Verse 1]
E                D             A             D
  Won't you come see about me? I'll be alone dancing, you know it, baby.
E              D                    A                    D
  Tell me your troubles and doubts, giving me everything inside and out, and out.
E                    D                 A                          D
  Love's strange, so real in the dark, think of the tender things that we were working on
E                 D              A                   D
  Slow change may pull us apart, when the light gets into your heart, baby
 
[Chorus]
E           D               A    D
  Don't you... forget about me,  don't, don't, don't, don't.
E           D               A    A
  Don't you... forget about me.
 
[Bridge]
C                        G
Will you stand above me, look my way, never love me?
D                                     A
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling down, down, down.
C                      G
Will you recognize me, call my name or walk on by?
D                                     A
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling down, down, down, down
 
[Interlude]
D  E                   D  Em   C     D       D    E
      Hey hey hey hey!       Oooooooooooooh, oh...oh
 
D  Em   C  D
 
[Verse 2]
E           D               A                     D
  Don't you try to pretend, it's my feeling we'll win in the end. 
       E            D                    A             D
I won't harm you or touch your defences; vanity and security.
E              D             A             D
  Don't you forget about me, I'll be alone dancing, you know it, baby.
E          D               A                   D
  Going to take you apart, I'll put us back together at heart, baby.
 
[Chorus]
E           D               A    D
  Don't you... forget about me,  don't, don't, don't, don't.
E           D               A    D
  Don't you... forget about me.
 
[Coda]
               E    D                  A      D
As you walk on by...  will you call my name?
               E    D                  A      D
As you walk on by...  will you call my name?
               E    D   A   D
When you walk away.
                  E    D   A   D
Or will you walk away?
                 E    D   A                 D
Will you walk on by?       Come on, call my name.
E                  D    A   D
  Will you call my name?
 
[Outro]
       E           D              A              D
I say, la la la la la... la la la la... la la la la la la la la la
E           D              A              D
la la la la la... la la la la... la la la la la la la la la
E           D              A              D
la la la la la... la la la la... la la la la la la la la la
E                      D
la... When you walk on by

Breakfast Club is one of my favorite movies and it is mostly because of this song. Don't You Forget about Me makes think of so many places and times in history where I had fun!

the intro should be D-E D-E C-D D-E no G at all there. Other than that great chord chart.
