[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
If I'd stayed [F]back [C]home
Never spread [F]my [C]wings
Let you build [F]that [C]house
Let you buy [F]that [C]ring
If I'd put [F]down my dreams to put you first
[G]I could've been her[C]
If I'd dyed [F]my

[Verse 2]
[C]hair
If I'd lost [F]that [C]weight
If I'd worn [F]that [C]dress
And let you change my name
I'd still be [F]wakin' up in your T- shirt
[G]I could've been her[C]
If I'd [F]shut my

[Verse 3]
mouth, [G]faked that smile
[C]Probably could've [G]made
it [Am]work for a while
[F]Cried in the dark in[G]stead of screaming
There [C]wouldn't be [G]red wine
[Am]stains on the ceiling
[F]If I'd buried my fee[C]lings
Pushed down the [Dm]hurt and let you [C]cheat
I could've been [F]her
[G]But that wouldn't be [C]me

[Verse 4]
No, it wouldn't [F]be [C]me
To let you get [F]away[C]
With every word [F]you'd [C]twist
And every bed you made
If I'd just [F]hung around,
not knowin' my worth
[G]I could've been her[C]

[Verse 5]
If I'd [F]shut my mouth, [G]faked that smile
[C]Probably could've [G]made
it [Am]work for a while
[F]Cried in the dark in[G]stead of screaming
There [C]wouldn't be [G]red wine
[Am]stains on the ceiling
[F]If I'd buried my fee[C]lings
Pushed down the [Dm]hurt and let you [C]cheat
I could've [F]been her
[G]But that wouldn't be [C]me[G][Am][G][F]
[G]That wouldn't be me[C][G]
[Am][G][F][G][C]

[Verse 6]
If I'd just [F]gave [C]up
The standards [F]I h[C]ave
Let you hit [F]your [C]knees
And beg me on back
If I'd just [F]sold my soul for
a love that [Dm]cheap
I could've been [F]her
[G]But that wouldn't be [C]me[G][Am][G][F]
[G]That wouldn't be me
[C]
