Could've Been
H.E.R.
"Please, allow me to show you something..."
[Verse 1]
D#m11   D9b5   G#m7/C#Somebody give me, yeah
D#m11Somebody give me, uh
D9b5Somebody tell me the G#m7/C#answers Me and you isn't the answer, uh Me and you isn't
D#m11Maybe I'm tellin' D9b5myself that
But G#m7/C#there ain't nothin' that'll change that What good would it be, if I knew how you
D#m11felt about me? (yeah)
D9b5It could've been right but I was G#m7/C#wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Only think 'bout you when I'm AM9alone
The part of me that cared is almost F#m11gone
And I know, that I cD/Ean't, get caught up
[Chorus]
D#m11We could've been
And we D9b5try to pretend
Every G#m7/C#now and again, We don't dream about, don't think about what
D#m11We could've been
Though I'm D9b5holding it in
'Cause G#m7/C#I know in the end You dream about, I think about what
D#m11We could've been
D9b5We could've been, yeah
G#m7/C#We could've, damn
[Verse 2]
D#m11Remember?
D9b5Remember the night in G#m7/C#Miami First time you put your arms around me
I'm up reminiscin'
D#m11(ooh yeah) D9b5
Thinking 'bout you isn't helping
Thinking 'bout you doesn't G#m7/C#tell me What good it would do, if I decide to
D#m11face the truth
D9b5It could've been right
but I was G#m7/C#wrong,
[Pre-Chorus]
Only think 'bout you when I'm AM9alone
You only hit me up when she's not F#m11home
And that's why, I D/Ecan't, get caught up
[Chorus]
D#m11We could've been
And we D9b5try to pretend
Every G#m7/C#now and again, We don't dream about, don't think about what
D#m11We could've been
Though I'm D9b5holding it in
'Cause I G#m7/C#know in the end You dream about, I think about what
D#m11We could've been
D9b5We could've been,
G#m7/C#We could've,
