Chords

[Intro]
Dmaj7    D/Gb          Em7
     Yeah,   yeah, yeah

             G
Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be
[Verse 1]
            Dmaj7
I heard that men, men never choose

                  D/Gb
The one that they really love is the one that they lose

            Em7                          G
She ends up being the one they daydream about

     A        Dmaj7                 D/Gb
In a suburban house with a woman he settled for

                          Em7
She was better for him, I guess

                  G               A
God bless, but it couldn't be me, yeah
[Chorus]
Dmaj7                        D/Gb
She's got her face beat, and she's always home

    Em7                     G            A
And she put to sleep every dream of her own (Yeah)

    Dmaj7                       D/Gb
And she lets you go cheat, long as you come home

     Em7                           A                        Dmaj7 D/Gb
From searching the streets for someone like the one you let go
[Post-Chorus]
              Em7
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

A                     Dmaj7 D/Gb
 Like the one you let go

              Em7   A
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
[Verse 2]
             Dmaj7
I heard that girls, girls never learn

            D/Gb
Change everything 'bout myself, hopin' I'd get a turn (Yeah)

        Em7                     G
Just to be the one he daydream about

                 Dmaj7                      D/Gb
In a two-bedroom house with a wife he don't even love

                  Em7
She was easier, I guess

                  G
God bless, but it couldn't be me, yo (Couldn't be me)
[Chorus]
Dmaj7                        D/Gb
She's got her face beat, and she's always home

    Em7                     G            A
And she put to sleep every dream of her own (Yeah)

    Dmaj7                       D/Gb
And she lets you go cheat, long as you come home

     Em7                           A                        Dmaj7 D/Gb
From searching the streets for someone like the one you let go
[Post-Chorus]
              Em7
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

A                     Dmaj7 D/Gb Em7 A
 Like the one you let go

           Dmaj7
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
[Outro: Sam Smith & Jessie Reyez]
D/Gb                            Em7                            A
  Babe, I'm sorry to hear that, babe, that's fucking shit, I'm sorry (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

                                 Dmaj7
But listen, Jessie, you can't beat yourself up too much about this stuff

    D/Gb                         Em7
Like, you've got to go with your heart and your instincts

           A                                             Dmaj7                       D/Gb
And you'll learn next time when you get the same feelings  to not go there, you know?

                                                        Em7
So it's a good thing you did it, it's all part of the growth (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be me)

   A                                          Dmaj7                                  D/Gb
Um, I'm proud of you for being brave and courageous and doing it and stepping into it

                    Em7                                 A
And finding out what, what's right and what's wrong, um, for you (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

               Dmaj7           D/Gb                         Em7
It sounds like he is a twat and  he will regret this for as long as he lives, I promise you, babe

    A                    Dmaj7
But he's not worth your breath, it sounds like (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

    D/Gb            Em7                 A
Um,  I'm in Mexico, babe, I just landed, wish you were here, miss you
N.C. Yeah, I'm sendin' you a big hug, love, love, love, love, love you
