Intro: G Dsus4/F# Em7/B Cadd9
verse 1
Em7
When you come around
Cadd9
I don't really know what to say
Em7 Cadd9
My mind is racing with thoughts that I can't erase
Em7
Like could we have had a house to call our own
Em7/B
If we had a little girl would she have your nose
Cadd9 Dsus4
The voice inside won't leave me alone
[Refrão] G
Cause I wonder if we could have made it last
Em7/B
I wonder if we gave it all we have
Em7 Dsus4
Or if our tempers got the best of us?
G
I wonder if I could have been a better man
Em7/B
Maybe you would be with me till the end
Em7 Dsus4
Cause even though we're sad and down
Cadd9 G
I still wonder if you could've been the one....
Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4
One..., one..., one...
verse 2

When you come around

You always ask if I'm okay
Em7
I tell you that I'm fine, yeah
Cadd9
Just like a guy would say
Em7
I know you know something's wrong
Em7/B
Cause you know me better than anyone
Cadd9 Dsus4
The truth is: I've never felt more alone
[Refrão] G
Cause I wonder if we could have made it last

I wonder if we gave it all we have
Em7 Dsus4
