It Could Have Been

Am     F     G/B   G

[Verse]
N.C.         Am                  F
When we were young, how we could fly
             G                     
How we could float along like 
            C             G/B
summer winds and touch the sky
              Am              
The world was ours, and how we 
 F
dreamed
               G                   
Our lives were intertwined forever 
      C
so it seemed

[Verse]
            Em              F
We made our plans, I'd be a painter 
or a poet
        G           C
Live in Paris, in a cheap hotel or 
garret
              Am    Dm             
And you would be my everything, my 
G
Muse
    C         G/B Am
Too wonderful to  lose
             Dm             G     
When we were young, so very young

[Verse]
N.C.          Am              F
It could have been, but so it goes
         G                         
It's the mystery of life nobody 
  C
ever knows
    G/B    Am                F
No "second shows", no "once again"
        G                        
We only turn a fleeting glance to 
          C
what was then

[Bridge]
          F
One small note of regret
              G
It could have been and yet
           C
We kind of lost our way
     B7
From day to day
               C
The years just faded away
            Am
They had no time to stay
              G        F     
Time will not wait for lovers' 
  E7
fanciful dreams
