D G/B C G
DGlistening grass from September rain,
G/Bgray overpass full of neon names,
you Cdrive (mm mm)
eighty-Gfive. (mm mm)
DGallatin Road and the Lakeside Beach,
G/Bwatchin’ the game from your brother’s Jeep,
your Csmile,
(mm mm) miles Gwide.
And it was Dnot an invitaG/Btion –
should’ve kissed you Canyway,
should’ve kissed you Ganyway.
And it was Dnot convenG/Bient, no,
but your girlfriend Cwas away,
should’ve kissed you Ganyway, hey.
DShiny wood floors underneath my feet,
G/Bdisco ball makes everything look cheap,
have Cfun, (mm mm)
it’s Gprom. (mm mm)
DWilted corsage dangles from my wrist,
G/BOver his shoulder, I catch a glimpse
and Csee (mm mm)
you looking at Gmе.
And it was Dnot an invitatG/Bion,
but as the 50 Cent Csong played, (song playеd)
should’ve kissed you Ganyway. (anyway)
And it was Dnot (and it was not)
conveG/Bnient (convenient), no,
would’ve been the Cbest mistake,
should’ve kissed you Ganyway, hey…
Em Don’t make it Cawkward in second periGod,
make someone G/Bjealous, lately we’ve been Emgood,
stayin’ friends is Csafe – doesn’t mean youG should.G/B
Em Don’t make it Cawkward in second periGod,
make someone G/Bjealous, lately we’ve been Emgood,
stayin’ friends is Csafe – doesn’t mean youG should.G/B
DWhen I left school I lost track of you,
G/BAbigail called me with the bad news,
goodCbye…
and we’ll never know Gwhy…
It was Dnot an invitaG/Btion,
but I flew home Canyway –
with so much Gleft to say.
It was Dnot conveG/Bnient, no,
but I whispered Cat the grave
“should’ve kissed you Ganyway,” ooh…
And it was Dnot (it was not)
an invitatG/Bion (invitation) –
should’ve kissed you Canyway, (anyway)
should’ve kissed you Ganyway (anyway),
anyway…
and it was Dnot…
My advice is to always G/Bruin the friendship,
better Cthat than regret it for all Gtime,
should’ve kissed you anyway.
D And my advice is to always G/Banswer the question,
better Cthat than to ask it all your Glife,
should’ve kissed you anyway,
D G/B should’ve kissed you anywCay. G
