[Intro]
 G  Em*  Bm  Cadd9*  Em  Bm* C  
EmWhen you come around
                           Bm      C  Bm*
I don't really know what to say
                     Em                      Bm        C  G* C*
My mind is racing with thoughts that I can't erase
Like could Emwe have had a house to call our own
If we Bmhad a little girl would she have your nose
                                 C    D  C* D*
The voice inside won't leave me alone
Cause I Gwonder if we could have made it last
I Bmwonder if we gave it all we have
                                 Em     D  G* D*
Or if our tempers got the best of us?
I Gwonder if I could have been a better man
BmMaybe you would be with me till the end
                                Em    D  G* D*
Cause even though we're said and done
I still Cwonder if
         DN.C.         G  
You could've been the one....
DOne......
EmOne.......
 C  D*
One........
EmWhen you come around
                     Bm     C  Bm*
You always ask if I'm okay
I Emtell you that I'm fine, yeah
                    Bm       C  Bm*
Just like a guy would say
EmI know you know something's wrong
Cause you Bmknow me better than anyone
                                    C    D  C* D*
The truth is: I've never felt more alone
Cause I Gwonder if we could have made it last
I Bmwonder if we gave it all we have
                                 Em     D  G* D*
Or if our tempers got the best of us?
I Gwonder if I could have been a better man
BmMaybe you would be with me till the end
                                Em    D  G* D*
Cause even though we're said and done
I still Cwonder if

You could've been the one....

I just really fucking miss you
And that will never BmchaDnge
Cause I Gwonder if we could have made it last
I Bmwonder if we gave it all we have
                                 Em     D  G* D*
Or if our tempers got the best of us?
