INTRO
G5 E5 D5 C5


VERSE

    G5        E5
Now maybe
                          D5
I didn't mean to treat you bad
    C5
But I did it anyway
        G5
And now maybe
E5                         D5
Some would say your life was sad
        C5
But you lived it anyway
       G5
And so maybe
     E5                                       D5
Your friends they stand around they watch your crumble
       C5
As you falter to the ground
         G5
And then someday
     E5                                   D5
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
            C5
Oh you were flying oh so high
         G5                              E5
But them someday people look at you for what they call their own
               D5
They watch you suffer
          C5
Yeah they hear you calling home
         G5
But then some day we could take our time
E5                                  D5
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
        C5
But you left me far behind



CHORUS

    G5
Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be
E5                        D5
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
      C5
But I did it anyway
    G5                  E5                                D5
Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be   some would say you're left with what you had
        C5                
But you couldn't share the pain 
          G5
No, no, no
E5                                     D5           C5
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer


VERSE

    G5      E5                           D5
Now maybe... I could have made my own mistakes
      C5
But I live with what I've known
         G5        E5                            
And then maybe... we might share in something great
D5          
But won't you look at where we've grown
C5
Won't you look at where we've gone
         G5                            E5                               D5
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I feel for you in my mind
       C5
As you trip the final line
         G5
And that cold day when you lost control
E5                                            D5
Shame you left my life so soon you should have told me
        C5
But you left me far behind

CHORUS

    G5                   E5                          D5
Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be   I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
    C5
Oh, but I did it anyway
    G5                   E5                             D5
Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be some would say you're left with what you had
    C5
Oh, but you couldn't share the pain


SOLO

No, no, no
G5      E5              D5             C5

CHORUS

    G5                   E5                          D5
Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be   I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
      C5
But I did it anyway
    G5                   E5                               D5
Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be   some would say you're left with what you had
        C5
But you couldn't share the pain
       G5
I said times have changed your friends
                        E5                 
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
               D5
They watch you suffer
           C5
Yeah, they hold you down (Hold you down)
    G5              E5      
Now maybe brother, maybe love
                 D5
I didn't mean to treat you bad
        C5
But you left me far behind
G5
Left me far behind
E5
Left me far
D5          C5
Behind
