[Verse 1]
D                   C 
  The time has come, there is no second chance 
D                           C 
  We've been drifting on an empty aching sea 
D                      C  
  You were the girl I never knew I wanted 
D                   C             
  I was the boy you hoped you'd never see 
 
[Chorus]                        
G             C         
 And it's a shame that we ain't lovers 
G                              C 
  We could have been somethin', somethin' so big and grand 
G                              C 
  Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia 
G                       C 
  Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand

[Verse 2] 
D                           C
  Been burnin' up the hours, talkin' to the midnight 
D                               C
  Just dreamin' of ways I could hold you next to me 
D                                 C
  But maybe it just wasn't meant, all things have a reason 
D                                 C
  Maybe our hearts were just too careless and free 
  
[Chorus]                        
G             C         
 And it's a shame that we ain't lovers 
G                              C 
  We could have been somethin', somethin' so big and grand 
G                              C 
  Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia 
G                       C 
  Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand

 [Verse 3] 
D                  C
  There was a time, you would have had me
D                       C    
  There was a time when I could have had you
D                               C
  Well it's too late, another path has come and gone again
D                             C
 I'm at the back door with a broken window view, thinkin'
  
[Chorus]                        
G             C         
 It's a shame   that we ain't lovers 
G                              C 
  We could have been somethin', somethin' so big and grand 
G                              C 
  Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia 
G                       C 
  Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand

[Chorus]                        
G             C         
 It's a shame   that we ain't lovers 
G                              C 
  We could have been somethin', somethin' so big and grand 
G                              C 
  Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia 
G                       C 
  Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand
