It Should've Been Me chords
Start Jamming...
Not too loud, not [F#] too quiet
Don't be proud, don't be [A] shy
It's rude to stare
Oh dude, [G] I [F#] dare
Keep it bold, don't be timid
Not too slow, make it quick
[A] It's so unfair
I'm [F#] almost there
[Em] Lost [D] in a fantasy
[A] My very own [Bm]
Pandora's [Em] box
Warmed by [D] my jealousy
[A] I hope that it [Bm] doesn't show
[Em] I'm a dick [D] and [A] clattery
Nobody's been [Bm] as close as me
[E] I spilled my guts
[A] And all for [F#]
one
It should've [Bm] been me
[F#m]
You should [D] have picked me from [B] the start
And [Em] after everything [D] left, I'm free
[A] You don't think it's [F#] bizarre
It should've [Bm] been [F#m] me
Where do [D] you think I got [B] this heart?
I [Em] chiseled out my [D]
personality
[A] Till it's a [F#] work of art
There you are, can't they see it?
I'm in love, could it [A] be?
It's rude to stare
Yes, I'm [F#] aware
What if I merely prepared you?
Alright, does it hurt?
[A] I will be [E] there
You know [F#] I care
[Em] Caught in [D] my fantasy
[A] Don't look like [Bm] that Pandora's [G] box
Push down [D] the jealousy
[E] No, nobody needs [Bm] to know
[Em] Please don't [D] think less of [A] me
I'm but a [Bm] lonely soul
You see, [E] you're worth a shame
[A] I'm gonna [F#] say
It should've [Bm] been [F#m] me
I [D] oughta be there by [B] your side
Just think [Em] of all the [D] possibilities
[E] That we could bring [F#] to life
It should've [Bm] been [F#m] me
I think [D] I need you to [D#] survive
So now [Em] it's your [D] responsibility
[E] To make me stay [F#]
alive
[Bm] [G] [E] [C#]
[Bm] [G] [E] [G#]
[Bm] [A] [G] [F#m]
[Bm] [G] [E] [F#]
[Em] Trapped in [D] this travesty
[A] You've opened up [Bm]
Pandora's [G] box
Drunk by [D] reality
[A] It's time to rock [Bm] the show
[Em] You're upset [D] about it [A] seems
I'm full of [Bm]
animosity
[E] And here I am
[A] Where do you [F#]
stand?
[G] [G#]
[C#m] It could've been [G#m] me
Although [E] I'm better than [C#] the rest
My [F#m] polarizing [E] rationality
[B] Just couldn't pass [G#] the test
[C#m] It could've been [G#m] me
But [E] I'm unsure of my [C#] identity
[A] My fragile [E] hospitality
[B] Will shatter from [G#] this mess
[C#m] It shouldn't be [G#m] me
And here [E] I thought I was [C#] above
But now [F#m] it's clear to me
[E] You saw that I'm [C#] unworthy of [G#] your love
It shouldn't [C#m] be me
[G#m] And I'm [E] okay with that
[G#m] Because I truly [F#m] only want [E] the best for you
[B] And I am not [G#] the one
It couldn't [C#m] be [G#m] me
[E] [G#m]
[F#m] [E] [B] [G#]
It should've [C#m] been [G#m] me
[C#] [F#m] [E] [B] [G#]
