Am Looking back, it's hard for me to see Dm Just how I coulda been so blind Am Like an actor on a movie screen Dm You played the part with every line Am Well, every story doesn't have a happy ending Dm Sometimes a flower doesn't grow F Em I hope you understand the message that I'm sending Dm G But boy, I think you need to know Chorus: Am (Coulda been the one) Dm That I would give it all to catch you when you fall, boo Am (Shoulda been the one) Dm Didn't know just what you had, boy Now it's just too bad, boy Am (After all is said and done) Dm You're a cheater and a liar Went to play with fire F Em Dm Boy, I hope that you enjoyed your fun G Am 'Cause you coulda been the one Dm Am There's nothing left to say Coulda been the one Dm Coulda been, shoulda been, baby My momma didn't raise no fool She said play with fire, you get burned You laughed at me, I laugh at you Now it seems the tables turned I must admit, I really thought you had potential But I could not have been more wrong I need somebody I can trust with his essentials You had your chance, but now I'm long gone Chorus: (Coulda been the one) That I would give it all to catch you when you fall, boo (Shoulda been the one) Didn't know just what you had, boy Now it's just too bad, boy (After all is said and done) You're a cheater and a liar Went to play with fire Boy, I hope that you enjoyed your fun 'Cause you coulda been the one Coulda been the one, baby Coulda been the one You played yourself, boy And there is no denying it It's just the way the story goes You made your bed, boy Better go and lie in it But know that you'll be lying there alone Chorus: (Coulda been the one) That I would give it all to catch you when you fall, boo (Shoulda been the one) Didn't know just what you had, boy Now it's just too bad, boy (After all is said and done) You're a cheater and a liar Went to play with fire Boy, I hope that you enjoyed your fun 'Cause you coulda been the one There's nothing left to say Coulda been the one Coulda been, shoulda been You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Dm  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
