Intro 
Am  D  Bm  Em  C 
Am  D  Bm  Em  C  Am 

Verse 
                       D 
Can I believe my ears? 
D 
Is this'a really you? 
Am 
Pacing the floor with one eye on the door, huh 
D 
Watching the winners go to 
                Am 
Why do you hang back now? 
                   D 
Why d'you hesitate? 
                      Am 
You know, fires don't burn 
           D 
For he who waits 
 
                  Bm 
Out of all of the people 
            Em 
That I ever knew 
                   C 
If one should have made it 
                    Am 
It should have been you 
                    D 
It should have been you 
                    Bm 
It should have been you 
                    Em    C 
It should have been you 


Verse 
        Am 
Well, I know who I'm looking for 
      D 
But I don't believe my eyes 
    Am 
The sight of you with your head hung low 
    D 
Is a sick, sad surprise 
                     Am 
Now, why do you hang back now? 
               D 
Why d'you hesitate? 
             Am 
How dare you throw it all away then you tell me 
    D 
"Oh man, it must be fate" 
 
                  Bm 
Out of all of the people 
            Em 
That I ever knew 
                              C 
There had to be one I could believe in 
                        Am 
And it should have been you 
                    D 
It should have been you 
                    Bm 
It should have been you 
                    Em 
It should have been you 
                C 
If there had to be one 
                          F 
Well, it should have been you

Verse 
  Am 
A gift that dies is a tragic thing 
      D 
And it happens all the time 
      Am                                        D 
But a gift that's wasted, thrown to hell is the 
D 
Worst of stupid crimes 
               Am 
I saw you hang back now 
                  D 
I watched you hesitate 
         Am 
You're a well respected man, but bullshit 
                  D 
You could've been great 

               Bm 
Out of all the people 
       Em 
I ever knew 
                       C 
There should have been one 
                        Am 
And it should have been you 
                    D 
It should have been you 
                    Bm 
It should have been you 
                    Em 
It should have been you 
 
                           C 
Well, I spent my whole life looking 
                 Am 
For someone like you 
                    D 
It should have been you 
                    Bm 
It should have been you 
                   Em 
It should have been you 
                 C 
If there had to be one 
                          Am 
Well, it should have been you
