Chords

[Intro] E G x4 [Verse 1]
      E                        G
I got friends who are in prison

E                     G
Friends who are dead.

E
I'm gonna tell ya something

G         E
That I've often said.
[Chorus]
    G          A
You know these things that happen,

                                     E      G   E
That's just the way it's supposed to be.

G           B
And I can't help but wonder,

A                                E     G   E    G
    Don't ya know it coulda been me.
[Verse 2]
  E                   G
I had me a good girl,

    E                         G
Her kisses sweeter than wine.

    E
And I had always hoped

     G        E
That someday     I'd make her mine.
[Chorus]
G       A
But she ran off and married,

                                     E     G    E
That's just the way it's supposed to be.

And I can't help but wonder,

A                                E     G  E   G
    Don't ya know it coulda been me.
[Verse 3]
         E                           G
Well the junkie cops of First Street,

E                            G
Sticks a needle in his arm.

E                     G
No, he never meant to do

E
  Anyone no harm.
[Chorus]
G        A
But he's buried six feet deep,

                                     E     G   E
That's just the way it's supposed to be.

G           B
And I can't help but wonder,

A                                E    G   E   G
    Don't ya know it coulda been me.            Yeah!
