_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] [G] baby
I [C] dreamed of you [G] last night
[C] And oh, [Am] your face was [G] so very clear
[E] All [D] I could do was think [Am] about the good times
[D] That you [Em] and I used to [G] share
I [Am] can still remember [G] the last time
Oh, [D] I held you in [G] my arms
[E] But all [D] those days have [Am] come and gone now
And all I [D] seemed to do was [Bm] cry
It hurts, [E] [F#m] remembering [C] how things used to [D] be
[Bm] We thought our [E] love [D] would last [Am] throughout eternity
[G] And [F] I used [C] to [G] think it should have been [D] you
Oh, [Bm] it should have been [E] me
[D] [Am] It would have been all those things that life [G] was meant [Dm] to [C#] be
[G] But if I had you, [D]
oh girl, this time you [E] see
[Bm] You [Am] would have all [C] the [D] love [F] I can [Dm] shine [G] in
_ [Am]
Well, [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] have you got somebody [G] else?
[D] Yes, I've got somebody [G] to
But [E] you know [D] I finally [Am] realized
No [C] one could ever take the place [D] of you, no
And [Am] I'm not wanting a [G] place to be
Or for whatever the [D] fault just might be
[E] All I need is [D] to find a little [Am] happiness
Oh, and like [D] that would fulfill [Bm] me
It's you, [E] it's [D] you [Am] that means more to [D] me
[Bm] Without your love, [E]
[D] it's nothing [E] more [Am] than a fantasy
Baby, [G] [F] come back [C] to me
[G] Oh, it should have been [D] you
Oh, girl, it should have been [E] me
[D] [Am] It would have been all those things [G] that life [G] was meant [Dm] to be
[Em] It should have been you
[D] _ It should have been [E] me
[D] [Am] We could have built that love [D] so strong
[C] But my eyes were [Dm] closed [G] and I didn't see
[Em] Oh, it should have [D] been you, baby
[Bm] It should have been [E] me
[Am] It would have been all [D] those things that life
[G] All that was meant to [Dm] be, [G] meant to be, [Em] meant to be, baby
[D] Oh, but if I had [Bm] you now
This time, [E] you see, [D] this time
[Am] We would [Em] have [D] all the love, [C] all the love, all the love
[G] I [Bm] could have trapped inside [G] of me
You _ [E] _
_ [G] _ _ [E] [D] know, so much [Am] time has passed since [D] you and I have been together
_ [Am] So much time till [Bm] I, I [G] don't know quite how to stop
_ [D] [E] All I know [D] is that from that [C] day until this
You remain on my mind [D] and in my heart
[Am] You know, it was never really clear [D] just what went [G] wrong
I guess [Am] that's why I had to write this song
[G] [E] If I knew then [D] what I know [G] now
I [Am] would have never let you [G] go
[C] No way, no, how [Bm] it hurts
[E] _ [D] [Am] Remembering how things used to [Bm] be
If our love [E] would [D] last [Am] around _ eternity
[G] [F] Now it's [Am] history
[G] Oh, baby, oh, it should have been [D] you
It should have been [Em] me
[Am] It would have been all those things that life
All [G] the things that was meant to be
[C] Oh, baby, [G] I know, I know, I know, I [D] know
It should have been you, baby
It should have been me
[E] _ [D] _ [Am] [G] You could have built [C] a love so [Am] strong
[F] But I know [C] my eyes were [G] closed
And I didn't see
Oh, it should have been [D] you, baby
[Bm] Oh, it should have been [E] me
It should have [G#] been you and [Am] me
Oh, it would have been all those things in life
[G] That was meant to be
That was meant to [Dm] be
Oh, [G] baby, oh, I know if [D] I had you girl
I know this time you'll [E] see
I can [G] show you, [Am] baby, show you, baby
You would have all my love
[F] All the love, all [Am] the love
I kept [G] wrapped up inside of me
[Am]
Oh, [G] yeah
Why [D] [G] don't you give me one more [Am] chance?
If you [G] wanna be with me
_ Take a chance with me, baby
[F]
I woke up [D] this morning with you on my mind
[G] _ [Bm] Oh, [Am] baby, baby [G] Oh, baby [C] _ [D] [G] Come on
[Am] Try [G] it again
_ [C] Let's [G] start all [D] over
