Intro: Csus- - C-- x2


Verse 1:
    C4        C
The flowers you gave me
    C7            F
Are just about to die
       Dm
When I think about
     C
What could've been
   Dm               G4 G
It makes me want to cry
    C4            C
The sweet words you whispered
C7            F
Didn't mean a thing
  Dm                C
I guess our song is over
Dm               G4 G
  As we begin to sing


Chorus:
F                C
Could've been so beautiful
Dm                 C    C7
  Could've been so right
F                  C
  Could've been my lover
Dm             G4 G
  Every day of my   life
F                C
Could've been so beautiful
E                  Am   E/G# G D/F#
  Could've been so right
F                    C
I'll never hold what could've been
     Dm       G
On a cold and lonely night


Post chorus: Csus- - C- - Csus- - G--


Verse 2: ??? = unknown chord,if you know just tell me guys
    C4           C
The members of our loving
      C7            F
Still linger in the air
         Dm                  C
Like the faded scent of your roses
Dm                       G4 G
  They stay with me everywhere
     Am            E/G#
Everytime I get my hopes up
     G              D/F#
They always seem to fall
      Dm                    A/C#
Still what could've been is better than
           Dm       ???        Dm G4 - G
What could never be chor be at all


(Repeat Chorus)
