Verse 1:
Give me a minute to compose myself, it’s been
Long, long time since you been gone
I can still remember conversations we had
too bad that’s all that now lingers on
So many times I nearly fooled myself that some…
Body like you could give a damn about me
But then one day you stepped into my life,
All my strife was a fleeting memory
Chorus:
Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)
/
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)
To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming) Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…
Verse 2:
During my life I somehow steered you wrong
From the road once again was driving us way
I pushed aside the things that meant so much
With hope that you’d be happy some day
I wear regret now like the lines on my face
Not a day passes on that you don’t cross my mind (You don’t cross my mind…)
Couldn’t raise the spirits of a broken heart
And chance the ?
Chorus
Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)
/
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)
To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming) Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…
Solo: One time through verse chords, once through chorus...
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…
Verse 3:
But then one day I gathered up the nerve
To trip all of those waves I vowed not to cross
In for this pain that flow deep down inside
That still housed the dreams that all is not lost
Upon the threshold I now made my ascent
towards the door I should close on one careless days
Without a look, just pass them buzzer and in
That your name, long gone, it faded away
Chorus:
Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)
/
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)
To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming) Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…
