Cm       Ab         Bb        Cm
   I had friends against the war

    Ab                 Bb         Cm
By things they did so well yesterday
                 Ab            Bb          Cm
They lived their lives without fortune or thrill
     Ab            Bb      Cm       
With nothing very much to say

Pre Chorus:

Bb                      Ab
Always standing in the same old lines
Bb                      Ab
Moving sideways to the march of time

CHORUS:

Cm              Ab
What might have been
Bb              Cm
What might have been

Ab         Bb     Cm
A portrait of my life
Cm             Ab
No fool would say
Bb        Cm
You live today
Ab         Bb        Cm
Without a will to survive

Cornered now, what can I do
I'm trapped by what might have been
The great big 'if' that hangs around my neck
Has played its part in all my dreams
Always making the bad seem worse
Living my life reversed

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Ab         Bb          Eb            Ab
I know the call that I can't seem to move
Ab               Bb        Eb
Without a little fall from grace
Ab         Bb           Eb           Ab
But now I know when I'm down in this mood
C#                           Eb                          
It's only me that I have to face
Bb              Eb
What might have been, yeah
Ab  Bb             Eb
   What might have been

Cm Ab Bb Cm Ab Bb Cm
                  
What might have been

Cm Ab Bb Cm Ab Bb Cm

Bb                      Ab   
Always standing in the same old lines

Bb                     Ab
Moving sideways to the march of time
