Verse 1
Bm               A                    G
People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
Bm                        A                      G
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
                Em7             D/F#         G
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
         Em7                D/F#          A4 A
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise
Bm                   A                    G
I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
Bm                        A                      G
Every choice that I had to make left you on your own
                Em7             D/F#         G
Somehow the road we started down had split asunder
             Em7         D/F#          A4 A
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown


Chorus
D             D/C#                        D/B   D/A
How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
        G                               D/F#
Now  Shoulda woulda coulda, means I'm out of time
       Em7                           A4       A
Coz Shoulda woulda coulda, can't change your mind
        D               D/C#                C    Bm
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
 G                                G/A              D
Shoulda woulda coulda are the last words of a fool


Verse 2
Bm               A                    G
People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
Bm               A                    G
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
                Em7             
And in my life there's a love I put aside,
              D/F#         G
cause I was busy loving something else
                     Em7                
So for every little thing you hold on to
               D/F#           A4 A
you've got to let something else go

Chorus
D             D/C#                        D/B   D/A
How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
        G                               D/F#
Now  Shoulda woulda coulda, means I'm out of time
       Em7                           A4       A
Coz Shoulda woulda coulda, can't change your mind
        D               D/C#                C    Bm
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
 G                                G/A              
Shoulda woulda coulda are the last words of a 

Bridge
C                                  Bm
Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
  Em7                  D/F#
I know I'm right where I belong
       G                A
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I ...


[Chorus] x 2
