[Intro] G [Verse 1]
        G
Darling I,

                                      D
know we talked about it once too many times,

                                        C
how there was something missing in our lives.

          Em
A little life.

        G
So we tried,

                                         D
it was more than just a twinkle in your eye,

                                         C
but some things you just don't get to decide.

              Em
At least we tried,

           C           D            Em
the first casualty of life is the plan,

         C               D           Em
when I look back I'm not even sure that,

          D
we were thinking.
[Chorus]
G                                          D
Somewhere, she's probably dancing with her blonde hair,

                            C
falling like ribbons on her shoulders,

                Em      D
just like we always saw.

G                                       D
Bright eyes, spinning in circles in the sunlight,

                               C
darling, we tried but now it's over.

                         Em     D
We had it all and then we lost,

                    G
the girl that never was.
[Verse 2]
            G                                    D
If I could say a million words to take away the pain

                                          C
what kills me is you're trying to take the blame,

                Em
you're not to blame.

      G
I'll never say I told you so, sad I've thought the words,

        D
tried drowning you in happiness, I only make it worse,

    C
we never should've picked a name, cause now she has a face,

     Em
and now no matter what we do, no one will take her place.
[Chorus]
G                                          D
Somewhere, she's probably dancing with her blonde hair,

                            C
falling like ribbons on her shoulders,

                Em      D
just like we always saw.

G                                       D
Bright eyes, spinning in circles in the sunlight,

                               C
darling, we tried but now it's over,

                         Em     D
we had it all and then we lost,
the girl that never was. [Bridge]
C      D             Em
  I know we'll never know you,

C      D             Em
  I know we'll never hold you,

C     D            Em          D
  I never got to show you, my love.
[Chorus]
       G                                            D
'Cause somewhere, you're probably dancing with your blonde hair,

                             C
falling like ribbons on your shoulders,

                Em
just like we always saw.

G                                       D
Bright eyes, spinning in circles in the sunlight,

                               C
darling, we tried but now it's over,

                         Em     D
we had it all and then we lost,

                    G
the girl that never was.
