Tip: Use fingerpicking or very gentle strumming. This is a piano song at heart, so try arpeggiated chords to mimic the piano feel. Let notes sustain and ring.

Verse 1
C Em
She’d take the world off my shoulders
Am
If it was ever hard to move
G
She’d turn the rain to a rainbow
C Em
When I was living in the blue
Am
Why then if she’s so perfect
G
Do I still wish that it was you?
Chorus
C Em
’Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
Am G
And that’s where I find a glimpse of us
C
And I try to fall for her touch
Em
But I’m thinking of the way it was
Am G
Said I’m fine and said I moved on
C Em Am
I’m only here passing time in her arms
G
Hoping I’ll find a glimpse of us
Verse 2
C Em
Tell me he savors your glory
Am
Does he laugh the way I did?
G
Is this a placeholder for
C EmAmG
What could have been?
