[Verse 1]
C
I should've written you a love song
But instead I wrote a song about
Cmaj7
How I was moving on
Fsus2
And I wrote some lines and some rhymes that
C
I kind of regret
C
I should've written you a love song
But instead I wrote a song about
Cmaj7
How you were just a phase
Fsus2
And how you had a pretty face but
C
I just wanted you to change
[Chorus]
G7sus4
Oh, I wrote these songs
Fmaj7
About how we could never work
G7sus4
And then turned around
Fmaj7
And gave my best rhymes to the wrong guys
G7sus4
Oh, I wrote them poems and melodies
Fmaj7
I let them live in harmonies
F
But out of all of them
G
Now I'm thinking...
[Verse 2]
C
I should've written you a love song
But instead I wrote a song about
Cmaj7
How you were in my way
Fsus2
And I wrote some mean things
C
And all these refrains echoed in my brain
C
I couldn't get them out of my head
I would hear them when I saw you
Cmaj7
And believe in what they said
Fsus2
And they were a constant reminder
I had these catchy tunes
C
Telling me I didn't want you
[Chorus]
G7sus4
Oh, I wrote these songs
Fmaj7
About how we could never work
G7sus4
And then turned around
Fmaj7
And gave my best rhymes to the wrong guys
G7sus4
Oh, I wrote them poems and melodies
Fmaj7
I let them live in harmonies
F
But out of all of them
G
Now I'm thinking...
[Outro]
C
I should've written you a love song
Cmaj7
And I know that it's a little late and we have all moved on
Fsus2
But I wanted you to know
C
Here's the song I should've written five years ago
