Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You[Gsus4]'re[G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4]
[G]browsing through a [Gsus4]second hand bookstore
[G]And[Gsus4] you see her in n[G]on-
[Gsus4]fiction V[G] through Y[Gsus4]
She looks [Am]up from World War II
And then you [A]catch her, [Asus4]catching,
[Am]you [Dsus4]catch ing her [G]eye[Gsus4][G][Gsus4]

[Verse 2]
And you [G]quickly turn [C]away your
[Dsus4]wishful s[G]tare[Csus2]
[Dsus4]And take a su[G]dden interest[C]
[Dsus4]in your shoes[G][Csus2]
[C]If you onl[Am]y had the cou[Dsus4]rage
but you [Am]don't
She turns and [Dsus4]leaves and you
[G]both [Csus2]lose[Dsus4][G]

[Verse 3]
And you think about [Eb]The
people that you [Dm]never get to [Eb]love[Dm]
It's [Abdim]not as if you even[Gm]
have the [Csus4]chance[C]
So [Cm]many worth [Dm]a second life
But [Eb]rarely do you [D]get a second [Gm]glance
[Eb]Until [Bb]fate cuts in [Edim]on your[Am][A]
dance
[D][Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
[D][Dsus4]
And you'll [G]see her [Gsus4]on a train
that you've just [G]missed
At a bus stop where your
[Gsus4]bus will never stop[G]
Or [Am]in a passing Buick
When you've been pulled over by a
[Dsus4]traf fic cop
[G][Gsus4]

[Verse 5]
[G][Gsus4]
Or you'll [G]share an elevator,
[Csus2]just you [Dsus4]two[G][C]
[Dsus4]And you'll rise in t[G]otal [D]si
[Dsus4]lence to the flo[G]or[C]
[Dsus4]Like the fool [Am]you are,
you [Dsus4]get off
And she [Asus4]leaves your life behi[Dsus4]nd
[A]a closing [Gsus4]door[Dsus4][A][G]
And you [Gsus4]think abo[G]ut The

[Verse 6]
[Eb]
people that you [Dm]never
[Eb]get to [Dm]love
The [Ab]poem [Gm]you intended to begin
[Bb]The [C]saddest wo[Cm]rds that
[Dm]anyone has [Eb]ever said are
[D]'Lord, what might [Gm]have been'
But [Bb]no one s[Edim]aid you get [A]to
win
[D][Dsus4]

[Verse 7]
[D][Dsus4]
Still you're [G]never gonna [Gsus4]miss what
you don't [G]know[Gsus4]
And you [G]don't know who you'll [Gsus4]meet
at half pas[G]t three[Gsus4]
It could [Am]be a total stranger
Who looks something just exactly
much [G]like [Gsus4]me[G][Gsus4]

[Verse 8]
One of the [G]people that you
[Gsus4]never get to lov[G]e
One of the people that you
[Gsus4]never get to lov[G]e[Gsus4]
The [Eb]people that [Dm]you never get to [Gsus4]love
