Db            Ab                Gb
We could have been God's dream.
              Db              Gb
We could have lived the life.
Db                               Gb
We could have done great things.
Db                               Gb
Man, it would have been so nice.


[Chorus]
                   Ebm                 Ab
It could have been me; could have been you.
   Db         Gb                         Db
We could have done anything we wanted to do.
                                 Gb                 Ab
And I don't know how it happened, but we got it all wrong.
    Gb                                                   Db    Ab Db
The bad don't mean anything, and the good don't last too long.


[Verse 2]
                       Ab
We could have watched 'Black Like Me.'

Instead we watched the big guns.

And everybody knows the words

To 'Seasons in the Sun.'


[Chorus]
           Eb  Ebm    Gb                   Ab
Could have had give.  Could have had take.
                 Gb                    Db
We could've made anything we wanted to make.
                     Eb Ebm
So we made 'Wheel Of Fortune'
                    Ab
And all the popular songs.
          Gb
We made a land where crap is king
                            Db
And the good don't last too long.

Ab Gb Db Ab Gb


[Bridge]
                     E                        Ab Eb
Now there's darkened doorway's creaking in my head.
Gb                  E                        Eb
I've got the Mannix theme song playing in my head.
                Db
Put this one to bed.


[Instrumental]

Db (x8) Gb


[Chorus]
           Eb  Ebm    Gb                   Ab
Could have had give.  Could have had take.
                 Gb                    Db
We could've made anything we wanted to make.
                     Eb Ebm
So we made 'Wheel Of Fortune'
                    Ab
And all the popular songs.
          Gb
We made a land where crap is king
                            Db
And the good don't last too long.

                   Ebm                 Ab
It could have been me; could have been you.
   Db         Gb                         Db
We could have done anything we wanted to do.
                                 Gb                 Ab
And I don't know how it happened, but we got it all wrong.
          Gb
We made a land where crap is king
                            Db    Gb
And the good don't last too long.
