Could've Been Anyone
*** Intro:
D
*** Verse 1:
G(2) D
It's so hard not to blame you
Em G D
it's hard not to put all the blame on you
G(2) D
'cause you knew from the start
Em G D
there was one little part you would not let through
Bm A Bm A
I'm sure there were even moments when you thought
G /F# Em /F# /G /B /E
You might someday finish what you'd begun -
*** Chorus:
D /C G
but that could've been anyone
D /C G
could've been anyone
D /C G
I lost my place in the sun
/F# Em /F# /G /B ---> /E
well, never mind
(tacet) D
it could've been anyone.
*** Verse 2:
So we all make mistakes G(2) D
it just figures you'd make me the biggest one Em G D
I was saving it up G(2) D
now it's spent and I don't know what I spent it on Em G D
now I find if you try hard enough Bm A Bm A
you can wear it down 'til it's just about gone - G /F# Em /F#/G/B/E
*** Chorus:
'til you could've been anyone (tacet) D /C G
you could've been anyone D /C G
lost your place in the sun D /C G
well, never mind /F# Em /F#/G/B/E
could've been anyone. (tacet) D
*** Bridge:
A Bm G D
Your pattern is different than what
A Bm G D A
it implies - the words may be true but I realize
C G
it isn't deception so much as disguise.
*** Instrumental:
Don't worry, you can learn to live without Bm A Bm A
you've got a lifetime of that to draw upon G /F# Em /F#/G/B/E
and anyway - (tacet) D
*** Chorus:
it could've been anyone D
you lost your place in the sun D /C G
lost your place in the sun D /C G
oh, you lost your place in the sun D /C G
*** Coda: Chords are Em /F# | G /F# one pattern for each of the
following lines
well, never mind
well, never mind
it could've been anyone
lost you're place in the sun
never mind
never mind
could've been anyone
could've been anyone
well never mind
you lost your place in the sun
I feel that's enough now
