Cm       G#         Bb        Cm
   I had friends against the war

    G#                 Bb         Cm
By things they did so well yesterday
                 G#            Bb          Cm
They lived their lives without fortune or thrill
     G#            Bb      Cm       
With nothing very much to say

Pre Chorus:

Bb                      G#
Always standing in the same old lines
Bb                      G#
Moving sideways to the march of time

CHORUS:

Cm              G#
What might have been
Bb              Cm
What might have been

G#         Bb     Cm
A portrait of my life
Cm             G#
No fool would say
Bb        Cm
You live today
G#         Bb        Cm
Without a will to survive

Cornered now, what can I do
I'm trapped by what might have been
The great big 'if' that hangs around my neck
Has played its part in all my dreams
Always making the bad seem worse
Living my life reversed

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

G#         Bb          D#            G#
I know the call that I can't seem to move
G#               Bb        D#
Without a little fall from grace
G#         Bb           D#           G#
But now I know when I'm down in this mood
C#                           D#                          
It's only me that I have to face
Bb              D#
What might have been, yeah
G#  Bb             D#
   What might have been

Cm G# Bb Cm G# Bb Cm
                  
What might have been

Cm G# Bb Cm G# Bb Cm

Bb                      G#   
Always standing in the same old lines

Bb                     G#
Moving sideways to the march of time
