I Meant To

*Capo 1st fret*
A Em7
Things get in the way, the rush of everyday
D A
The ordinary stuff we all get into
A Em7
Wouldn't it be sad, if all you ever had
D A
Was a granite epitaph that said "I meant to"
[Refrão] D
So any pretty woman I didn't take the time to kiss
G
Any crazy thing I didn't do, I meant to
D
Any dirty liar I didn't stare right in the eye
G
And make him tell the naked truth, I meant to
A Em7
I'm always on the run, things get lost some things get done
A G
But if I didn't have all the fun I meant to, I meant to
D A
And if I never came out and said to each and everyone I love
G A G/A D
How much I really do....... I meant to
A Em7
Maybe this one chance is all we really have
D A
And maybe all you got is what you get to
A Em7
Well I ain't gonna cry, I'll give it my best try
D A
Then kiss the world goodbye and say I meant to
CHORUS
A G/A D
I meant to
A G/A D
I meant to

If you want just play a regular G where the G/A is
