What Could of Been Love (From the album "Music From Another Dimension")
--------------------------------------
Doing most of this from memory but it should give you a pretty good start
on the song. Also the F# at the end of the first chorus sounds like it 
degrades to an F#m, however you could probably still use an A chord and get
away with it. The G#m in the chorus also feels a bit rough but you can play
around with it and find some variation that fits the bill.

Verse 1:
  D (xx0232@1)                    G (320003@1)                   Bm (x24432@1)           
I wake up and wonder how everything went wrong.
   A (x02220@1)          G (320003@1)Am I the one to blame?
  D (xx0232@1)                        G (320003@1)                 Bm (x24432@1)
I gave up and left you for a nowhere-bound train.
         A (x02220@1)                GNow (320003@1)that train has come and gone.
  Em (022000@1)                      Bm (x24432@1)I close my eyes and see you lying in my bed.
    D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)             GAnd (320003@1)I still dreamed of that day.

Chorus:
E (022100@1)                  G#m (133111@4)What could have been love,
                     F#m (244222@1)               B (x2444x@1)                EShould (022100@1)have been the only thing that was ever meant to be.
             G#m (133111@4)                 A (x02220@1)               B (x2444x@1)    E (022100@1)Didn't know, couldn't see what was right in front of me.
                 G#m (133111@4)               F#m (244222@1)          B (x2444x@1)                   C#mAnd (x13321@4)now that I'm alone all I have is emptiness that comes from being free.
                     B (x2444x@1)             F# (244322@1)
What could have been love will never be.

Verse 2:
   D (xx0232@1)                             GAn (320003@1)old friend who told me that you found somebody new.
Bm (x24432@1)       A (x02220@1)            GOh, (320003@1)you're finally moving on.
    D (xx0232@1)                        GYou (320003@1)think that I'd be over you after all these years.
Bm (x24432@1)      A (x02220@1)                G#mYeah, (133111@4)but time has proved me wrong.
                         G'Cause (320003@1)I'm still holdin' on.

F#m (244222@1)                        C#mWe've (x13321@4)gone our separate ways. Say goodbye to another day.
F#m (244222@1)                                C#mI (x13321@4)still wonder where you at. Are you too far from turning back?
D (xx0232@1)                                      BYou (x2444x@1)were slipping through my hands and I didn't understand.
