Intro

Verse 1

 The flowers you gave me

 Are just about to die

 When I think about

 What could've been

 It makes me want to cry

 The sweet words you whispered

Didn't mean a thing

 I guess our song is over

As we begin to sing

Chorus 1

Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right

Could've been my lover

Every day of my life

Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right

I'll never hold what could've been

 On a cold and lonely night

Post chorus: Csus--C--Csus--G--

Verse 2

??? = unknown chord,if you know just tell me guys

 The members of our loving

 Still linger in the air

 Like the faded scent of your roses

They stay with me everywhere

 Everytime I get my hopes up

 They always seem to fall

 Still what could've been is better than

 What could never be chor be at all

Chorus 2

Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right

Could've been my lover

Every day of my life

Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right

You can hold what could've been

 On a cold and lonely night

Guitar solo

Chorus 3

Could've been so beautiful

Outro

How could I hold

 what could've been

 On a cold and lonely night?
