"No Bblonger in My hands," I say to GmYou

ooh......

Gm Dm

ooh......

Who knows what You'll find when You look inside?

Haunted beach, roll the dice

Bb Dm

The zombies in the corner aren't amused

Play the part of the blushing bride

Tame the horse and take it for a ride

Bb Gm

This thread of consolation comes loose

ooh...

Bb Gm Dm

I could've been a hero, I could've been a zero

Could've been all these things

Bb Gm Dm

I could've been nothing, I could've been bluffing

Could've been all these things

Bb Gm Dm

And if I am unable, tell Him that I'll try

But underneath the table

Gm Bb

I will spin the wheel and hope for gold

Dm Dm

ooh......

Gm Dm

ooh......

I've seen the road and I've seen it hide

Out of view, cloaked by night

Bb Dm

I want My forty acres in the sun

Bitter winds come in from the north

My spirit dims, but I feel the force

Bb Gm

"No longer in My hands," I say to You

Ooh.. I...

Bb Gm Dm

I could've been a hero, I could've been a zero

Could've been all these things

Bb Gm Dm

I could've been nothing, I could've had something

Could've been all these things

Bb Gm Dm

And if I am unable, tell Him that I'll try

But underneath the table

Gm Dm

I will spin the wheel and hope for gold

Gm Bb

Oh, and where it stops, nobody knows...

Bb Gm Dm Gm

Would've been, should've been, I could've been

Bb Gm Dm

I could've been a hero, I could've been a zero

Could've been all these things

Bb Gm Dm

I could've been nothing, I could've been something

Could've been all these things

Bb Gm Dm

And if I am unable, tell Him that I'll try

Underneath the table

Gm Dm

Hope for gold

Gm Bb

Where it stops, nobody knows.
