[Verse 1]
D#m11 D9b5 G#m7/C#
Somebody give me, yeah
D#m11
Somebody give me, uh
D9b5 G#m7/C#
Somebody tell me the answers Me and you isn't the answer, uh Me and you isn't
D#m11 D9b5
Maybe I'm tellin' myself that
G#m7/C#
But there ain't nothin' that'll change that What good would it be, if I knew how you
D#m11
felt about me? (yeah)
D9b5 G#m7/C#
It could've been right but I was wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
AM9
Only think 'bout you when I'm alone
F#m11
The part of me that cared is almost gone
D/E
And I know, that I can't, get caught up
[Chorus]
D#m11
We could've been
D9b5
And we try to pretend
G#m7/C#
Every now and again, We don't dream about, don't think about what
D#m11
We could've been
D9b5
Though I'm holding it in
G#m7/C#
'Cause I know in the end You dream about, I think about what
D#m11
We could've been
D9b5
We could've been, yeah
G#m7/C#
We could've, damn
[Verse 2]
D#m11
Remember?
D9b5 G#m7/C#
Remember the night in Miami First time you put your arms around me
I'm up reminiscin'
D#m11
(ooh yeah) D9b5
Thinking 'bout you isn't helping
G#m7/C#
Thinking 'bout you doesn't tell me What good it would do, if I decide to
D#m11
face the truth
D9b5
It could've been right
G#m7/C#
but I was wrong,
[Pre-Chorus]
AM9
Only think 'bout you when I'm alone
F#m11
You only hit me up when she's not home
D/E
And that's why, I can't, get caught up
[Chorus]
D#m11
We could've been
D9b5
And we try to pretend
G#m7/C#
Every now and again, We don't dream about, don't think about what
D#m11
We could've been
D9b5
Though I'm holding it in
G#m7/C#
'Cause I know in the end You dream about, I think about what
D#m11
We could've been
D9b5
We could've been,
G#m7/C#
We could've,
AM9

D#m11 D9b5 G#m7/C#
Yeah (What) we could've been No, ooh
AM9 F#m11 D/E
(easy as hell)
[Verse 3]
D#m11
Ay
D9b5
What we could've been
G#m7/C#
What we should've been If I wasn't, if I wasn't
D#m11 D9b5
With somebody, if you gotta hide it what's the point of trying?
G#m7/C#
I ain't just your friend, no, what's the point of lying?
Tryna sell a story ain't nobody buyin'
D#m11
Look me in my eyes,
D9b5

G#m7/C#
Why should it end? Baby I could've been
