CAPO 3 to match album

This is a piano song, so you really need to listen to get the chord timing just right.

It is near impossible to find any of her sheet music, so this is one I figured out on my own.

G C G C

I think about how it might have been

G C G C

We'd spend our days travelin'

Am G

It's not that I don't understand you

Am G

It's not that I don't want to be with you

Am

But you only wanted me

C

The way you wanted me

G C G C

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best

G

And we can hang our heads down

C G C

As we skip the goodbyes

G C

And you can tell the world what you want them to hear

Dm Am

I've got nothing left to lose, my dear

Bm Fd/D

So, I'm up for the little white lies

C D2 G

But you and I know the reason why

C G

I'm gone, and you're still there

C G

I'm gone, and you're still there

C G

I'm gone, and you're still there

G C G C

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face

G C G C

From coast to coast or wherever I find my place

Am G

I'll track you on the radio, and

Am Dm

I'll sign your list in a different name

Am

But as close as I get to you

C

It's not the same

G C G C

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best

G C

We can pat ourselves on the back

G C

And say that we tried

G C

And if one of us makes it big

Dm Am

We can spill our regrets

Bm Fd/D

And talk about how the love never dies

C D2 G

But you and I know the reason why

C G

I'm gone, and you're still there

C G

I'm gone, and you're still there

C G

I'm gone, and you're still there

Bm Fd/D

So, steal the show, and do your best

Am

To cover the tracks that I have left

D7

I wish you well and hope you find

Am

Whatever you're looking for

D7

The way I might've changed my mind

Am Bm C D7

But you only showed me the door

G C G C

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best

G C

We can pat ourselves on the back

G C

And say that we tried

G C

And if one of us makes it big

Dm Am

We can spill our regrets

Bm Fd/D

And talk about how the love never dies

C D2

But you and I

C Fd/D

You and I--------

C D2 G C G C G C G

You and I know the reason why
