      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
