Tom: D
G Bm
Give me a minute to compose myself, it’s been
Em C
Long, long time since you been gone
G Em
I can still remember conversations we had
D C
too bad that’s all that now lingers on
G Bm
So many times I nearly fooled myself that
Em C
Somebody like you could give a damn about me
G Em
But then one day you stepped into my life,
D G
All my strife was a fleeting memory
[Chorus]
C Em D C
Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)
C Em Em/Eb C
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)
C Em D C
To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming) Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…
[Verse 2]
G Bm
Bearing my life I somehow steered you wrong
Em C
From the road once again was driving us way
G Em
I pushed aside the things that meant so much
D C
With hope that you’d be happy some day
G Bm
I wear regret now like the lines on my face
Em C
Not a day passes on that you don’t cross my mind (You don’t cross my mind…)
G Em
Couldn’t raise the spirits of the broken hearted
D G
Chance presents itself what'd you do in kind
[Chorus]
C Em D C
Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)
C Em Em/Eb C
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)
C Em D C
To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming) Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…
[Solo]
One time through verse chords, once through chorus
C Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…
[Verse 3]
G Bm
But then one day I gathered up the nerve
Em C
To dream all of those ways I thought not to cross
G Em
In for this pain that flow deep down inside
D C
That still has the dreams that always know loss
G Bm
Upon the threshold I now made my ascent
Em C
Towards the door I sure closed on one careless day (On one careless day…)
G Em
Written on the ledge, just passed, I bother let in
D G
That your name, long gone, it faded away
[Chorus]
C Em D C
Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)
C Em Em/Eb C
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)
C Em D C
To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming) Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…
