G                    C5             G              C5
I hear you just got married, took a month long honeymoon
  G                        C5          D                        C
A new love smiles at the wedding you cried when you kissed the groom
G            C5                  G                          C5
I got no invitation, I guess the mailman didn't bring it to me
      G             G5addF#       Em           D                 C
But I see the whole thing in slow motion everynight as I try to sleep
         G                          C5          G                      C5
My buddy John said you looked real pretty & you acted like you were in love
            G        G5addF#    Em              D                      C
He said the preacher asked  for objections & he thought about standing up
       G                  C5                    G                   C5
I told John he musta been crazy 'cause you were just about to say I do
        G         G5addF#     Em
He just gave me a wink & said all he could think
       D                     C
was it could've been me with you


                                 D                       C
chorus....      It could've been me  standing there with you
                                 D               Bm
                It could've been me  & my dreams comming true
                          Em          D     Am  G    D   C
                But those dreams move on if you wait too long
                                       D                      G
                It took me till now to see,  it could've been me



I don't guess I ever told you that I went out & bought yu a ring
I even caryy it around in my pocket waitin to say the right thing
I pulled it out the other day but the diamond had lost it's shine
Well I know how it feels cause my eyes grow dim
When I think you could've been mine


chorus......


Bm       A              D               C
I know I called just in time a bitt too late
         Em          D     Am  G    D   C
You know dreams move on if you wait too long
                       D
It took me till now to see that it could've been me
                   C
Standin there with you
                 D              Bm
It could've been me & my dreams comming true
          Em          D    Am   G    D   C
But those dreams move on if you wait too long
                       D                      G       C5
It took me till now to see  it could've been me
