[Riff x4]
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I wanted you to see me,
A augmentedA BB
But for so long, you were blind
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Now it's time to face tomorrow,
A augmentedA BB
And leave all that stuff behind
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Of what would our lives have been like,
A augmentedA BB
If you'd just given me a sign
E MajorE F# minorF#m
'Cause I like you more than every other,
A augmentedA BB
Thing I like combined...
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
I spent so many summers,
E MajorE BB
Hoping something would begin
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
I thought that I was over you,
E MajorE BB
But here I am again...
E MajorE
What might have been
[Riff x2]
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I can't believe that all this time,
A augmentedA BB
You never said a word
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Although it's possible you did,
A augmentedA BB
And I just never heard
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I never even noticed,
A augmentedA BB
I guess I wasn't that alert
E MajorE F# minorF#m
But I must say that, in retrospect,
A augmentedA BB
You were being quite overt...
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And now our endless summer,
E MajorE BB
Is finally coming to an end
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
I tried to make the most of every day,
E MajorE BB
But now the years just seem misspent...
E MajorE
What might have been
[Riff x2]
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I could've been your girlfriend
A augmentedA BB
I could've been your fella
E MajorE F# minorF#m
We might've been an item...
A augmentedA BB
They would've called us "Phinabella"
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I would've held the door for you,
A augmentedA BB
I would've shared my umbrella
E MajorE F# minorF#m
You could've held my hair back,
A augmentedA BB
When I was sick with salmonella
BB
(Sick with salmonella)
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
We could've been together,
E MajorE BB
All you had to say was when
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And though I wanted so much more,
E MajorE BB
I guess you'll always be my friend...
E MajorE
What might have been
[Riff]
