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
Db 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
