Am9 Em11
It might have been things I did
C Cmaj9 FaddG G Dm7
But don't be unkind, it don't mean I'm blind
Am9 Em11
But after a thing or two
C Cmaj9 FaddG G Dm7
I think of lying in bed, I shouldn't have said, but there it is
Am9 Em11 Am9 Em11
CHORUS:
Dm7 Dm6
You see it's all clear
Dm7 E7sus4/F (N.C.)
You were meant to be here
Am9 Em11 Am9 Em11
>From the beginning
Am9 Em11
Well maybe I might have changed
C Cmaj9 FaddG G Dm7
And not been so cruel, not been such a fool
Am9 Em11
But after what's done is done
C Cmaj9 FaddG G Dm7
I just can't recall, it doesn't matter at all
Am9 Em11 Am9 Em11
CHORUS

NOTE: I saw some changes in the intro that I felt were important to
post. Actually they're the same notes, but on different strings, making
it much easier to play. Also a little change in the F chord and some
general condensing.
