Verse 

D7+ 
Some days were day dreams 
F#m 
Some days were sun beams 
D7+                    F#m   E 
Some days were nothing else  
D7+ 
Some days were day dreams 
A         E 
Some days were sun beams 
D7+              E    
Some days we are something else  


A                           A7+ 
I remember when you used to laugh 
                           D7+ 
Like in the day we used to hide 
                       Bm 
Like a deer in the headlights 
          E                F#m 
I saw you give up the late nights 
                          C#m 
We were the sweet and the bitter  
            Bm              A 
The kid who stays in the picture  
                E 
Could have been you 
                    D7+  A7+ 
It could have been you

Some days we are lost chasing day dreams  
D7+                           F#m           E

D7+                     A                  E              D7+   
Some days are just some excuse to ride the roller coaster one more time  
                     E 
And then we feel the reason inside somebody else  


A                           A7+ 
I remember when you used to laugh 
                           D7+

We were the sweet and the bitter  
            Bm              A 
The kid who stays in the picture  
                E 
Could have been you 
                    D7+   
It should have been you  
                E 
Could have been you 
                    D7+   
It should have been you  
                E 
Could have been you
