G#
Yeah, we coulda made up
G#                               A#m
Yeah, we shoulda stayed up tryna fix you and me
                       C#
But all that I know is coulda, shoulda
                        G#
Just don't mean a goddamn thing
G#
Looking at you, I realize
           G#                    A#m
Looking at you, I feel like I'm emotional
                     C#
Watching our love go stupid, crazy
                     G#
Fast until we lost control

Chorus:
               G#
Could you stay right by my side
         A#m
One more time just to try?
        C#                                    G#
What if we coulda been so much more than this was?
(Than this was)
               G#
Pretend you're mine for the night
       A#m
Before I say goodbye
        C#                                    G#
What if we coulda been so much more than this was?
(Than this was)

Yeah, we coulda made up
Yeah, we shoulda stayed up tryna fix this love
'Cause all that I know is coulda, shoulda
Never really worked for us (For us, no, no)
Can we get back momentum?
'Cause I can feel the tension, do you feel it too?
Yeah, I've been up late just second-guessing
Reminiscing 'bout us two (Ooh)

Chorus:
Could you stay right by my side
One more time just to try?
What if we coulda been
So much more than this was? (Than this was)
Pretend you're mine for the night
Before I say goodbye
What if we coulda been
So much more than this was?
(What if we coulda been so much more than this was)

            G#
Was it only young love?
             G#
Was I out of my mind?
              A#m
Did we really mess up?
               A#m
Can we press rewind?
        C#                                    G#
What if we coulda been so much more than this was?
(Than this was)
            G#
Was it only young love?
             G#
Was I out of my mind?
              A#m
Did we really mess up?
               A#m
Can we press rewind?
        C#                                    G#
What if we coulda been so much more than this was?
(Than this was)

G#
Yeah, we coulda made up
G#                               A#m
