Lyrics

There might have been (D)things I missed,

but don’t be un kind.

It don’t mean I’m blind.

Per haps there’s a thing (D)or two

I think of ly ing in bed,

It does I should n’t have said,

but (G)there it is.

You see, it’s all

from the be gin (Am)ning.

There May be I (D)might have changed,

and not been so cruel,

not been such a fool.

What ev er was done (D)is done.

I think I just can’t re call.

It does n’t mat ter at all.

but (G)there it is.

You see, it’s all

(Fmaj7)clear,

you were (Dm9)meant to be here...

from the be gin (Am)ning.
