D                       G
I wake up and wonder how everything went wrong.
Bm  A            G
 Am I the one to blame?
D                             G
I gave up and left you for a nowhere-bound train.
Bm        A                   G
 Now that train has come and gone.
  Em                        Bm
I close my eyes and see you lying in my bed
    D      A             G
And I still dream of that day.

E                    B
What could have been love
                    A                    B
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
E           G#m                    A                 B
Didn't know, couldn't see what was right in front of me
E                G#m                F#m             B
And now that I'm alone all I have is emptiness that comes from being free
C#m                     B              F#m
   What could have been love will never be

D                              G
An old friend told me that you found somebody new
Bm         A                G
  Oh, you're finally moving on.
    D                         G
You think that I'd be over you after all these years.
Bm        A                  E
Yeah, but time has proved it wrong.
                        G
'Cause I'm still holdin' on.

E                     B
What could have been love
                    A                    B
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
E            G#m                    A                 B
 Didn't know, couldn't see what was right in front of me
E                 G#m                F#m             B
 And now that I'm alone all I have is emptiness that comes from being free
C#m                     B               A
   What could have been love will never be

F#m
We've gone our separate ways
C#m
Say goodbye to another day
F#m
I still wonder where you are.
      C#m
Are you too far from turning back?
D                                  B
You were slipping through my hands and I didn't understand.

E                     B
What could have been love
                    A                    B
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be.
E            G#m                    A                 B
 Didn't know, couldn't see what was right in front of me
E                 G#m                F#m             B
 And now that I'm alone all I have is emptiness that comes from being free
C#m                     B               A
   What could have been love will never be
                     B
What could have been love will never be

                      E  G#m  A   (B)
What could have been looooooooove
                      E  G#m  A   (B)
What could have been looooooooove
                      E  G#m  A   (B)
What could have been looooooooove
                      E  G#m  A
What could have been looooooooove.
