Capo 1
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
But the only friend I had in sight
G F
Was an empty chair, you should've been there
C F

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
Do you care? You should've been there
C F
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
