What Went Wrong

G                      Bm
Give me a minute to compose myself, 
it’s been
Em                    C
Long, long time since you been gone
G                           Em
I can still remember conversations 
we had
    D                   C
too bad that’s all that now lingers 
on
G                      Bm
So many times I nearly fooled myself
 that
Em                         C
Somebody like you could give a damn 
about me
G                              Em
But then one day you stepped into my
 life,
          D               G
All my strife was a fleeting memory

[Chorus]
C                   Em      D   
Over and over in my head at 
             C
night (What went wrong…)
C                                 
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t 
  Em     Em/Eb            C
give up the fight (What went wrong…)
C                         Em
To let you go then didn’t make 
          D                C
things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming)              
       Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes 
now that love’s gone and passed me 
by…

[Verse 2]
G                        Bm
Bearing my life I somehow steered 
you wrong
Em                                
From the road once again was 
   C
driving us way
G                              Em
I pushed aside the things that meant
 so much

     D                  C
With hope that you’d be happy some 
day
G                          Bm
I wear regret now like the lines on 
my face
Em                                 
Not a day passes on that you don’t 
C
cross my mind (You don’t cross my 
mind…)
G                                 
Couldn’t raise the spirits of the 
Em
broken hearted
       D                           
Chance presents itself what'd you 
   G
do in kind

[Chorus]
C                   Em      D   
Over and over in my head at 
             C
night (What went wrong…)
C                                 
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t 
  Em     Em/Eb            C
give up the fight (What went wrong…)
C                         Em
To let you go then didn’t make 
          D                C
things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming)              
       Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes 
now that love’s gone and passed me 
by…

[Solo]
One time through verse chords, once 
through chorus
C                                 
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes 
          Cm
now that love’s gone and passed me 
by…

[Verse 3]
G                        Bm
But then one day I gathered up the 
nerve
Em                                
To dream all of those ways I 
   C
thought not to cross
G                              Em
In for this pain that flow deep down
 inside
     D                  C
That still has the dreams that 
always know loss
G                          Bm
Upon the threshold I now made my 
ascent
Em                              
Towards the door I sure closed on 
   C
one careless day (On one careless 
day…)
G                               
Written on the ledge, just passed, I
Em
 bother let in
         D                         
That your name, long gone, it faded
     G
 away

[Chorus]
C                   Em      D   
Over and over in my head at 
             C
night (What went wrong…)
C                                 
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t 
  Em     Em/Eb            C
give up the fight (What went wrong…)
C                         Em
To let you go then didn’t make 
          D                C
things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming)              
       Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes 
now that love’s gone and passed me 
by…
