You Shouldve Been There

Tom: Am

    Am                          C
You should've been there as the sun went down
G               F         E
Colors ran all across the ground
      Am                  C
And a thousand stars were spinning all around
G                F
Do you care? You should've been there

Am                      C
I saved you place right by my side
    G                   F     E
And waited there in the candlelight
Am                    C                  
But the only friend I had in sight
G                       F
Was an empty chair, you should've been there

C                       F
Ran into some people we used to know
C                           G
They were going somewhere I didn't want to go
     F                          G          Am
So I kept on waiting for just a little bit more
G              F          G              Am
Not getting anywhere, you should've been there

C                                F
Then I thought I saw you walking by into town
C                     G
Into the crowd I went chasing you down
       F                    G    Am
When I grabbed your arm she spun around
  G        F           G              Am
A stranger glared, you should've been there

          Am
Yeah, you should've been there

    Am                                   C
You should've been there, there's always so much to see
G                 F         E
In this old town, don't you agree?
Am                      C
But then again, I never said I'd be
G             F
Anywhere, you should've been there

Am                      C
I saved you place right by my side
    G                   F     E
And waited there in the candlelight
Am                    C

G                       F

[Solo]

          C                           F
Well, you should've been there as the sun went down
C               G
Colors ran all across the ground
      F                   G             Am
And a thousand stars were spinning all around
G      F         G              Am

Yeah, you should've been there, there's always so much to see
C                    G
This is a wild town, don't you agree?
F                         G        Am
Then again, girl, I never said I'd be
G  F          G              Am
Anywhere, you should've been there

        Am
Oh, you should've been there
