Would've, Could've, Should've

Am              Em
If you would've blinked then I would've
G       D
Looked away at the first glance
Am            Em
If you tasted poison

You could've
G       D
Spit me out at the first chance
Am               Em
And if I was some paint

Did it splatter
G    D
On a promising grown man?
Am             Em
And if I was a child did it matter
G      D
If you got to wash your hands?

Am   Em   G    D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, all I used to do was pray
Am                  G
Would've, could've, should've
D
If you'd never looked my way

                  G     D
I would've stayed on my knees
      Am
And I damn sure never would've
C                     G
Danced with the devil
       D
At nineteen
        Am
And the God's honest truth is that
    C
The pain was heaven
G                D
And now that I'm grown
              Am
I'm scared of ghosts
         C
Memories feel like weapons
G              D
And now that I know
             Am           C
I wish you'd left me wondering

[Segunda Parte]

Am           Em
If you never touched me, I would've
G     D
Gone along with the righteous
Am         Em
If I never blushed, then they could've
G     D
Never whispered about this
Am               Em
And if you never saved me from boredom
G          D
I could've gone on as I was
Am                     Em
But, Lord, you made me feel important
G            D
And then you tried to erase us

Am   Em   G    D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, you're a crisis of my faith
Am                  G
Would've, could've, should've
D
If I'd only played it safe

                  G     D
I would've stayed on my knees
      Am
And I damn sure never would've
C                     G
Danced with the devil
       D
At nineteen
        Am
And the God's honest truth is that
    C
The pain was heaven
G                D
And now that I'm grown
              Am
I'm scared of ghosts
         C
Memories feel like weapons
G              D
And now that I know
             Am           C
I wish you'd left me wondering

    G
God rest my soul
  D
I miss who I used to be
    Am
The tomb won't close
C                           G
Stained glass windows in my mind
D             Am        C
I regret you all the time
        G
I can't let this go
  D
I fight with you in my sleep
    Am
The wound won't close
  C                  G
I keep on waiting for a sign
D            Am         C
I regret you all the time

   Em           D
If clarity's in death
         C
Then why won't this die?
Em           D               C
Years of tearing down our banners

You and I
G             D
Living for the thrill
           Am             C
Of hitting you where it hurts
G                D
Give me back my girlhood
   Am        C   G   D
It was mine first

   C            Am
So yeah, it's a fire
       F                   G
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark
        C
And you started it
            F  G
You started it
   Am
So yeah, it's a war
         F                   G
It's the goddamn fight of my life
            C
And you started it
            F  G
You started it

      Am
Oh, I can't
G                Dm           Am
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
   G                    C
My house of stone, your ivy grows
    C
And now I'm covered
   Am  G  F     C  Am  C  G  C  F  G
In you,     in you

D
I regret you all the time
