      G             C       G 
There was someone I used to love 
  D          C     G 
A long, long time ago 
                   C      G 
He found someone before I had 
  Em        A7      D 
A chance to let him know 


                 G 
And every time I tried to get 
   C        G          D 
My heart to close that door 
    G                C          G 
I'd think about what could have been 
    D    C        G 
And only love him more 


                    C     G 
I told a friend how sad I was 
     D        C    G 
That fate was so unfair 
                       C          G 
This perfect love that could have been 
   Em          A7    D 
My heart would never share 


                    G 
And not till summer came and went 
    C     G         D 
Did her advice ring true 
     G              C         G 
Then I found out my heart was meant 
   D       C         G 
To fall in love with you 


 
   Em    C         G 
We never know what could have been 
    C       G       D 
But looking back we see 
     G                   C     G 
What could have been and never was 
    D     C        G 
Was never meant to be 



INTERLUDE: G  D    G    D  C  G 


                C       G 
I saw the one I used to love 
     D      C     G 
When I went out today 
                   C       G 
I said, "Hello", I met his wife 
     Em    A7    D 
When I was on my way 


                   G 
It may be luck, it may be fate 
   C      G       D 
It may be god's design 
  G              C     G 
I only know it's no mistake 
    D         C       G 
I'm yours and you are mine 

 
   Em    C         G 
We never know what could have been 
    C       G       D 
But looking back we see 
     G                   C     G 
What could have been and never was 
    D     C        G 
Was never meant to be
