Could've Had Everything
View chords used in this chart
Eb5 C#5
Heaven's sake everyone
B5
For standin' in my way
Bb5
For ruining all my fun
F5 (low)
You say your doing it for my sake
I thought I did my best
It was nearly good enough
But all that effort I guess
It didn't add up to very much
It hurts me when you call
I hate the way your thinkin'
I could have so easily had it all
{Chorus:}
Eb5 C#5
I could've had everything,
B5
I could've had everything
Bb5
This perfect life I'm in,
F5
Screwin' myself over
Eb5 C#5
I could've had everything
B5
I should have had everything
Bb5
You almost got me thinking
F5
I'm screwing myself over
Screwin' myself over
They say that madness is
Doing a thing the same way
You hope its gonna turn out different
But ya doing it anyway
I guess it's what I did with you
But at least I have a reason
So my apologies, wont go to anyone
It hurts me when you say,
That all my close mates hate me
I really thought I had it all
{Chorus}
Eb5-C#5-B5-Bb5
I coulda, I coulda, I coulda
I coulda, I coulda, I coulda had everything
I coulda, I coulda, I coulda
I coulda, I coulda had everything
I came so near to thinking
I had something
{Chorus 2x}
