E F#m
I wanted you to see me,
A B
But for so long, you were blind
E F#m
Now it's time to face tomorrow,
A B
And leave all that stuff behind
E F#m
Of what would our lives have been like,
A B
If you'd just given me a sign
E F#m
'Cause I like you more than every other,
A B
Thing I like combined...
C#m A
I spent so many summers,
E B
Hoping something would begin
C#m A
I thought that I was over you,
E B
But here I am again...
E
What might have been
[Riff x2]
E F#m
I can't believe that all this time,
A B
You never said a word
E F#m
Although it's possible you did,
A B
And I just never heard
E F#m
I never even noticed,
A B
I guess I wasn't that alert
E F#m
But I must say that, in retrospect,
A B
You were being quite overt...
C#m A
And now our endless summer,
E B
Is finally coming to an end
C#m A
I tried to make the most of every day,
E B
But now the years just seem misspent...
E
What might have been
[Riff x2]
E F#m
I could've been your girlfriend
A B
I could've been your fella
E F#m
We might've been an item...
A B
They would've called us "Phinabella"
E F#m
I would've held the door for you,
A B
I would've shared my umbrella
E F#m
You could've held my hair back,
A B
When I was sick with salmonella
B
(Sick with salmonella)
C#m A
We could've been together,
E B
All you had to say was when
C#m A
And though I wanted so much more,
E B
I guess you'll always be my friend...
E
What might have been
[Riff]
E
What might have been.
