Should Have Been Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Bm][Em][D][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Lay [Bm]down by [Em]my
side; the truth won't [D]hurt me now
[Em]Even in this last goodbye,
there is beauty we [D]can't deny
[Em]Maybe, maybe,
maybe it's [A]a crime, dear
[Em]Maybe, maybe,
maybe I don't want [A]to see
Why you [Em]give yourself [Bm]away [A]when...

[Verse 2]
It should have been [Em]me,
[Bm]should have been [D]my love
It should have [Em]been me,
should have been [D]my kind of love

[Verse 3]
[D]Escape with [Em]me tonight; this
[Bm]moment [Em]is all [A]ther[D]e is
When the morning [Em]comes,
we're cast aside; now there's farewell in [D]every kiss
You [Em]stumble through emotions
[A]with great and deep concern
You [Em]cross my line of defense; you know
[A]how weakness makes me yearn
Then [Bm]you throw my [Em]love away,
[A]afraid of what you see
Hell, you [G]ought to know by now...
[A]It should have been

[Verse 4]
[Em]me, [Bm]should
have [Em]been [D]my love
It should have [Em]been me, should
have been [D]my kind of love

[Verse 5]
When you [D]walk beside him down the aisle
in your [A]brilliant wedding dress
When the [G]ring is [Asus4]on your finger,
and [A]he wants you to get undressed
Will you [G]fall into [Asus4]his arms, will [A]you set his spirit free,
will he [G]ever get to [Asus4]know[A]
It should have been [Em]me?
[Bm][D][A][Em][D]
[Em]Maybe, maybe, maybe I'm [A]alone here
[Em]Maybe, maybe,
maybe I don't [A]want to see
When you [Em]give yourself [A]away

[Verse 6]
It should have been [Em]me,
[Bm]should have been [D]my love
It should [Em]have [D]been [Em]me,
[Bm]should have [D]been [Em]my ki[Bm]nd o[D]f love[Em]
