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.

| This is a great song, it has such a strong meaning to it. Everytime I hear it, I cry! It reminds me so much of my ex and I! We still love each other, but both of us have moved on, and look back at what we had together! Such a great song, most people don't understand these types of songs, until they actually experience what is happening!! | |

| this song to me means so much! it's about still loving someone after so many years but both people tried to forget,and they moved onwith there lives while thinking about each other .it's hard loving someone for so long and they are locked so deep iside it hurts.they still look back to the past and see what went wrong and what might have been if they would've stayed together . | |
