Wouldve Couldve Shouldve Cifras

[Intro]
Am Em G D
 
[Verse 1]
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?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
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
 
[Chorus]
                  G     D
I would've stayed on my knees
      Am                       C
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
G      D
At nineteen
        Am                             C
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G                D                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
         C
Memories feel like weapons
G              D                  Am      C
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
 
[Verse 2]
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
 
[Pre-Chorus]
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
 
[Chorus]
                  G     D
I would've stayed on my knees
      Am                       C
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
G      D
At nineteen
        Am                             C
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G                D                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
         C
Memories feel like weapons
G              D                  Am      C
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
 
[Bridge]
    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
 
[Verse 3]
   Em           D               C
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Em           D               C
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
G             D                 Am             C
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
G                D           Am        C   G   D
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
 
[Chorus]
      Am                       C
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
G      D
At nineteen
        Am                             C
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G                D                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
         C
Memories feel like weapons
G              D                  Am      C
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
 
[Outro]
    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
         G
Oh, 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
