Kathy Mattea - What Could Have Been


CAPO: 2nd Fret



   G+G       C majorC    G+G
There was someone I used to love
 D MajorD     C majorC   G+G
A augmentedA long, long time ago
          C majorC   G+G
He found someone before I had
 E minorEm    A7A7   D MajorD
A augmentedA chance to let him know

         G+G
And every time I tried to get
  C majorC    G+G     D MajorD
My heart to close that door
  G+G        C majorC     G+G
I'd think about what could have been
  D MajorD  C majorC    G+G
And only love him more


          C majorC   G+G
I told a friend how sad I was
   D MajorD    C majorC  G+G
That fate was so unfair
            C majorC     G+G
This perfect love that could have been
  E minorEm     A7A7  D MajorD
My heart would never share


          G+G
And not till summer came and went
  C majorC   G+G     D MajorD
Did her advice ring true
   G+G       C majorC     G+G
Then I found out my heart was meant
  D MajorD    C majorC     G+G
To fall in love with you


CHORUS:
  E minorEm  C majorC     G+G
We never know what could have been
  C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
But looking back we see
   G+G          C majorC   G+G
What could have been and never was
  D MajorD   C majorC    G+G
Was never meant to be

INTERLUDE: G+G D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD C majorC G+G


        C majorC    G+G
I saw the one I used to love
   D MajorD   C majorC   G+G
When I went out today
          C majorC    G+G
I said, "Hello", I met his wife
   E minorEm  A7A7  D MajorD
When I was on my way


          G+G
It may be luck, it may be fate
  C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
It may be god's design
 G+G       C majorC   G+G
I only know it's no mistake
  D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
I'm yours and you are mine


CHORUS:
  E minorEm  C majorC     G+G
We never know what could have been
  C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
But looking back we see
   G+G          C majorC   G+G
What could have been and never was
  D MajorD   C majorC    G+G
