G                      D/G
Sure I think about you now and then
C/G              Cm/G                 G
        but it's been a long, long time
C/G  G                         D/G
     I've got a good life now, I've moved on
C/G             Cm/G              D  Am  G/B
        So when you cross my mind


chorus:
C                             G
I try not to think about what might have been
       Em7          C            G/D             Am    G/B
'cause that was then and we have taken diff'rent roads
C                      G/B
We can't go back again there's no use giving in
Am                G/B            D   C2
      And there's no way to know       What might have been

play intro once then:
Verse 2:

We could sit and talk about this all night long
And wonder why we didn't last
Yes, they might be the best days we will ever know
But we'll have to leave them in the past.

chorus


Bridge:

Em
That same old look in your eyes
Bm
it's a beautiful night
C                      D    G D/F#
I'm so tempted to stay
Em
But too much time has gone by
Bm
We should just say good-bye
C
and turn and walk away
Dsus                        D  Am7 Bm7

chorus

G            Am     G/B             D
                No, we'll never know
C
                what might have been

Play intro one more time and end on G.
