Lyrics

There might have been things I missed,

but (G)don’t be un kind.

It don’t mean I’m blind.

Per haps there’s a thing (Em9)or two

I think of (G)ly ing in bed,

It does I should n’t have said,

but (G)there it is.

You see, it’s all

clear,

you were (Dm7)meant to be here...

from the be gin (Em9)ning.

There May be I might have changed,

and (G)not been so cruel,

not been such a fool.

What ev er was done (Em9)is done,

I think I (G)just can’t re call.

It does I mat ter at all.

but (G)there it is.

You see, it’s all

clear,

you were (Dm7)meant to be here...

from the be gin (Em9)ning.

There May be I might have changed,

and (G)not been so cruel,

not been such a fool.

What ev er was done (Em9)is done,

I think I (G)just can’t re call.

It does I mat ter at all.

but (G)there it is.

You see, it’s all

clear,

you were (Dm7)meant to be here...

from the be gin (Em9)ning.
