[Intro 1]
[D][Em][F][Em][Bm][C][D][A]
[D][Em][F]
[Em][Bm][C][G]
Ohhh... [A]yeah

[Verse 1]
[C][D][Em]
I should have stopped,
looked and listened before I proceeded
But cau[Bm]tion I threw [C]to
the wind
[G]Many've been placed in my life
[C]to help [A]lead me and guide me
But I [Bm]didn't want to [Em]talk to them
So I ig[F]nored their ad[Em]vice and I tried to disguise
pain from you and all the [C]things you did
The wrong [G]road [A]was chosen
my heart has been broken
Cause I [C]didn't want to [Em]hear them
[G]Shoulda'

[Verse 2]
[Am]said[Em]
[Bm]what I didn't say
Shoulda' [C]went right but I went
[Em]left that day
Shoulda' [Am]prayed but instead
[Bm]I strayed
Shoulda' [B]gone a different way

[Verse 3]
[F]Shoulda' lis[Em]tened to my mother
When she said [Bm]that you
were [C]no good for me
[G]Shoulda' lis[A]tened to my pastors
When they told me turn [C]around
and leave [G]you be
[B]Shoulda' [F]lis[Em]tened to my sisters
When they said that I was
[Bm]too blind [C]to see
But I [D]see the light [A]somehow
And I [Bm]vow to listen [Em]now

[Verse 4]
I [Em]had the chance to advance and it
seemed like the best
Oppor[Bm]tunity that [C]I could get
[G]I didn't bother to see i[A]f
my people agreed
Maybe I [Bm]knew what they would
[C]say [Em]and yet
I didn't control it I kept going for it
When I shoulda' [Bm]known
it wasn't [C]in God's plan
[Em]Had to l[D]et go,
had I [A]listened before
I would've [Bm]said no [Em]from [Bm]the door

[Verse 5]
[A]Shoulda' said what I d[Bm]idn't say
Shoulda' [C]went right but
I went [Em]left that day
[Am]Shoulda' stayed but in
[Bm]stead I strayed
Shoulda' [B]gone a different way

[Verse 6]
[F]Shoulda' lis[Em]tened to my mother
When she said [B]that you
were no good [C]for [G]me
Shoulda' [A]listened to my pastors
When they told me turn [C]around
and leave [G]you [B]be
[F]Shoulda' lis[Em]tened to my sisters
When they said that [Bm]I was
too blind [C]to see
[Em]But I [G]see the light [A]somehow
And I [D]vow [G]to listen now

[Verse 7]
[F]Shoulda' lis[Em]tened to my mother
When she [C]said that you were no
good for me
[G]Shoulda' [A]listened to my pastors
When they told me turn
[C]around and leave [G]you [B]be
[Em]Shoulda' listened to my sisters
When they said that [Bm]I
[C]was too blind to [G]see
But I see the light some[A]how
And I [D]vow [G]to listen now
[Bm][B][Bm][Em]

[Verse 8]
Shoulda' listene[G]d I know
[D]I shoulda' listened
But I [A]know [Am]that [C]I vow to
listen [D]now[Em]
Shoulda' listened I know
I shoulda' [D]listened
But you don't [C]have to [D]tell [C]me twice
I'm going to listen [Bm]now
[Em]Shoulda' listened if[D] only I ha[G]d listened
But I've [C]learned my lesson now
I'm gonna [D]listen now
[Em]Shoulda' listened

[Verse 9]
[D]cause I
just [Em]can't [G]be [Am]missing
All [C]the things God [D]has [Em]for m[D]e
[Am]Repeat [C]til[D]l[Em][D]
[C]end[Em]
