[wpchords][D] [G] [C] [G]
[D]Glistening grass from September rain,
[G]gray overpass full of neon names,
you [C]drive (mm mm)
eighty-[G]five. (mm mm)
[D]Gallatin Road and the Lakeside Beach,
[G]watchin’ the game from your brother’s Jeep,
your [C]smile,
(mm mm) miles [G]wide.
And it was [D]not an invita[G]tion –
should’ve kissed you [C]anyway,
should’ve kissed you [G]anyway.
And it was [D]not conven[G/B]ient, no,
but your girlfriend [C]was away,
should’ve kissed you [G]anyway, hey.
[D]Shiny wood floors underneath my feet,
[G]disco ball makes everything look cheap,
have [C]fun, (mm mm)
it’s [G]prom. (mm mm)
[D]Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist,
[G]Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse
and [C]see (mm mm)
you looking at [G]mе.
And it was [D]not an invitat[G]ion,
but as the 50 Cent [C]song played, (song playеd)
should’ve kissed you [G]anyway. (anyway)
And it was [D]not (and it was not)
conve[G]nient (convenient), no,
would’ve been the [C]best mistake,
should’ve kissed you [G]anyway, hey…
[Em] Don’t make it [C]awkward in second peri[G]od,
make someone [G]jealous, lately we’ve been [Em]good,
stayin’ friends is [C]safe – doesn’t mean you[G] should.[G]
[Em] Don’t make it [C]awkward in second peri[G]od,
make someone [G]jealous, lately we’ve been [Em]good,
stayin’ friends is [C]safe – doesn’t mean you[G] should.[G]
[D]When I left school I lost track of you,
[G]Abigail called me with the bad news,
good[C]bye…
and we’ll never know [G]why…
It was [D]not an invita[G]tion,
but I flew home [C]anyway –
with so much [G]left to say.
It was [D]not conve[G/B]nient, no,
but I whispered [C]at the grave
“should’ve kissed you [G]anyway,” ooh…
And it was [D]not (it was not)
an invitat[G]ion (invitation) –
should’ve kissed you [C]anyway, (anyway)
should’ve kissed you [G]anyway (anyway),
anyway…
and it was [D]not…
My advice is to always [G]ruin the friendship,
better [C]that than regret it for all [G]time,
should’ve kissed you anyway.
[D] And my advice is to always [G/B]answer the question,
better [C]that than to ask it all your [G]life,
should’ve kissed you anyway,
[D] [G] should’ve kissed you anyw[C]ay. [G]
