What Could of Been Love (From the album "Music From Another Dimension") -------------------------------------- Doing most of this from memory but it should give you a pretty good start on the song. Also the F# at the end of the first chorus sounds like it degrades to an F#m, however you could probably still use an A chord and get away with it. The G#m in the chorus also feels a bit rough but you can play around with it and find some variation that fits the bill. Tuning: Standard 440 Tuning Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t^ = tap with right hand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum Intro: |--------0---2-----------0-------| |------3---3-----------3-----3---| |----2---------------2-----2-----| |--0---------------0-------------| |--------------------------------| |--------------------------------| Verse 1: D G Bm I wake up and wonder how everything went wrong. A G Am I the one to blame? D G Bm I gave up and left you for a nowhere-bound train. A G Now that train has come and gone. Em Bm I close my eyes and see you lying in my bed. D A G And I still dreamed of that day. Chorus: E G#m What could have been love, F#m B E Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be. G#m A B E Didn't know, couldn't see what was right in front of me. G#m F#m B C#m And now that I'm alone all I have is emptiness that comes from being free. B F# What could have been love will never be. Verse 2: D G An old friend who told me that you found somebody new. Bm A G Oh, you're finally moving on. D G You think that I'd be over you after all these years. Bm A G#m Yeah, but time has proved me wrong. G 'Cause I'm still holdin' on.

Bridge: F#m C#m We've gone our separate ways. Say goodbye to another day. F#m C#m I still wonder where you at. Are you too far from turning back? D B You were slipping through my hands and I didn't understand. Chorus: E G#m What could have been love, F#m B E Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be.
