Shouldnt Matter But It Does

John Mayer


Tom: E

E                     G#m
  Should’ve been open,  should’ve done more
C#m                                     A
  Should’ve learned a lesson from the year before
E                       G#m
  Should've been honest,  should’ve just cried
C#m                             A
  Should’ve told me there was nothing left inside


[Chorus 1]
        B                 C#m    A
Now the road keeps rollin’ on forever
        B                 C#m   A
And the years keep pulling us apart
B            C#m               A
 We lost something, I still wonder what it was
A                     A           B             E
  It shouldn't matter, shouldn't matter but it does


[Interlude]
E  G#m  C#m  A


[Verse 2]
E                          G#m
  You should've just broken,  you should've come clean
C#m                                      A
  You should've been sad instead bein' so fuckin' mean
E                      G#m
  It shouldn't be easy,  but it shouldn't be hard
C#m                                      A
  You shouldn't be a stranger in your own backyard


[Chorus 2] 
        B                 C#m    A
Now the road keeps rollin’ on forever
        B                 C#m   A
And the years keep pulling us apart
B             C#m             A
 I know it's over, I'm just sayin' this because
A                     A           B
  It shouldn't matter, shouldn't matter but it does


[Interlude]
A      A E B
A      A E B
A      A E B
A E C#m  E  B


[Verse 3]
E                          G#m
  I shouldn't be angry, I shouldn't hold on
C#m                                A
  I shouldn't leave messages in every little song
E                        G#m
  It could've been always,  it could've been me
C#m                                A
  We could've been busy naming baby number three


[Chorus 3]
        B                 C#m    A
Now the road keeps rollin’ on forever
        B                 C#m   A
And the years keep pulling us apart
B            C#m          A
If it's on someone, I blame the both of us
A                     A           B
  It shouldn't matter, shouldn't matter but it
G#m                   C#m
  It shouldn't matter, shouldn't matter but it
F#m                   A           B             E
  It shouldn't matter, shouldn't matter but it does
