Guess Who - She Might Have Been A Nice Girl

[ G ] she might have been a nice girl
if she hadn’t had A [ Am ] draggy mother
she might have been A [ G ] good chick
if she hadn’t had A [ Am ] rotten father
she might have played the [ G ] right hunch
if she hadn’t been so [ Am ] narrow – minded
she might have had A [ G ] whole bunch
if she hadn’t been so [ Am ] far behind it
oh does it [ F ] hurt when you know you can’t [ C ] play it the way that your [ G ] beau knows
oh does it [ F ] hurt when you know you can’t [ C ] say it the way that your [ G ] beau knows
and you [ F ] know that that’s the [ C ] way that the show [ G ] goes
and you [ Am ] know it really has to go [ Em ] on .

she drank the army’s [ G ] red wine
but she never found A [ Am ] moment’s pleasure
she smelled the salty [ G ] sea brine
but she never found the [ Am ] buried treasure
she might have played the [ G ] chords right
but the song was never [ Am ] meant for singing
she might have really [ G ] broke loose
but she never made it [ Am ] past the clinging
i can see that it [ F ] hurts when you know you can’t [ C ] play it the way that your [ G ] beau knows
i can see that it [ F ] hurts when you know you can’t [ C ] say it the way that your [ G ] beau knows
and you [ F ] know that that’s the [ C ] way that the show [ G ] goes
and you [ Am ] know it really has to go [ Em ] on .
