[Intro]
Dbsus  Db  x2

[Verse 1]
    Dbsus       Db
The flowers you gave me
    Db7            Gb
Are just about to die
       Ebm
When I think about
     Db
What could've been
   Ebm               Absus Ab
It makes me want to cry
    Dbsus           Db
The sweet words you whispered
Db7            Gb
Didn't mean a thing
  Ebm                Db
I guess our song is over
Ebm               Absus Ab
  As we begin to sing

[Chorus 1]
Gb                Db
Could've been so beautiful
Ebm         Ab        Db    Db7
  Could've been so right
Gb                  Db
  Could've been my lover
Ebm             Gsus Ab
  Every day of my   life
Gb                Db
Could've been so beautiful
F                  Bbm   F/A Ab Eb/G
  Could've been so right
Gb                    Db
I'll never hold what could've been
     Ebm       Ab
On a cold and lonely night

[Post-Chorus]
Dbsus  Db  Dbsus  Ab

[Verse 2]
    Dbsus           Db
The memories of our loving
      Db7            Gb
Still linger in the air
         Ebm                  Db
Like the faded scent of your roses
Ebm                       Absus Ab
  They stay with me everywhere
     Bbm            F/A
Everytime I get my hopes up
     Ab             Eb/G
They always seem to fall
      Ebm                    Bb/D
Still what could've been is better than
           Ebm         C         Ebm Absus Ab
What could never be at all be at all

[Chorus 2]
Gb                Db
Could've been so beautiful
Ebm         Ab       Db    Db7
  Could've been so right
Gb                  Db
  Could've been my lover
Ebm             Absus Ab
  Every day of my     life
Gb                Db
Could've been so beautiful
F                  Bbm   F/A Ab Eb/G
  Could've been so right
Gb                 Db
You can hold what could've been
     Ebm       Ab
On a cold and lonely night

[Instrumental]
Gb  Db  Ebm  Db
Gb  Db  Ebm  Absus Ab

[Chorus 3]
Gb                Db
Could've been so beautiful
F                  Bbm   F/A Ab Eb/G
  Could've been so right
Gb                 Db
You can hold what could've been
     Ebm       Ab      Bbm   F/A Ab Eb/G
On a cold and lonely night

[Outro]
Gb
How could I hold
     Db
What could've been
     Ebm       Ab      Dbsus  Db Dbsus Db
On a cold and lonely night?
