*Sorry for not having lyrics in the intro, it would have been tedious and you can play
at your own speed*
This is 100% but I have simplified it because James and I play it with slaps on the
strings and in the chorus there are some picked notes but mostly strummed are the intro
so I
didn't bother and I hate it when people do this when I'm learning but once your in their
shoes it takes very long and hey I learnt this by watching him a RTL2 Radio station

Chorus:
Am Em
I'll make the best of this life I've got left
B7 Em
Got no time for no regrets
Am G
Gonna show you just what I can be
B7 Em
The person I should have been
And it might take time, take time
Am7 B7 Em
Coz this life has taken it right out of me
Am7 B7 G
I wanna change my perspective of reality
Dm G* C
Be a much better version of me
B7 Em E--2---3
The person I should have been
Am Em
I make the best of this life I've got left
B7 Em
Put my sincerity to the test
Am G
Wake up my senses finally
B7 Em
The water washes me clean
Am Em
What shouldn't have been has all been done
B7
If I don't get a grip
Em
Then the world has won
Am G
Making me think that I'll never be
B7 Em
The person I should have been
Am7
Who am I now?
B7 Em
A lonely man that's fallen down
Am7
No I can't change
B7 Em
The past that time has all burned out
C* C#dim A7
But I know somewhere inside of me
Am7 B7 Em E--2--3
Is the person I could have been
Am Em
Make the best of this life I've got left
B7 Em
Got no time for no regrets
Am G
Gonna show you just what I can be
B7 Em
The person I should have been
Am Em
What shouldn't have been has all been done
B7
If I don't get a grip
Em
Then the world has won
Am G
Making me think that I'll never be
B7 Em
The person I should have been
Outro:
Am G B7 Em
I said the person, person I should have been
Am G B7 Em
The person, person I should have been
Am G B7 Em
The person I should have been
Am G B7 Em
I said the person, person I should have been
