Chords

      G             C       G
There was someone I used to love

  D          C     G
A long, long time ago

                   C      G
He found someone before I had

  Em        A7      D
A chance to let him know

                 G
And every time I tried to get

   C        G          D
My heart to close that door

    G                C          G
I'd think about what could have been

    D    C        G
And only love him more

                    C     G
I told a friend how sad I was

     D        C    G
That fate was so unfair

                       C          G
This perfect love that could have been

   Em          A7    D
My heart would never share

                    G
And not till summer came and went

    C     G         D
Did her advice ring true

     G              C         G
Then I found out my heart was meant

   D       C         G
To fall in love with you
CHORUS:
   Em    C         G
We never know what could have been

    C       G       D
But looking back we see

     G                   C     G
What could have been and never was

    D     C        G
Was never meant to be
INTERLUDE: G D G D C G
                C       G
I saw the one I used to love

     D      C     G
When I went out today

                   C       G
I said, "Hello", I met his wife

     Em    A7    D
When I was on my way

                   G
It may be luck, it may be fate

   C      G       D
It may be god's design

  G              C     G
I only know it's no mistake

    D         C       G
I'm yours and you are mine
CHORUS:
   Em    C         G
We never know what could have been

    C       G       D
But looking back we see

     G                   C     G
What could have been and never was

    D     C        G
Was never meant to be
