Chord The Girl That Never Was - James Blunt

[Intro]
G..

        G
darling i..
know we talked about
                D/F#
it one too many times..
how there was something
               C
missing in our lives..
         Em
a little life..

      G
so we tried..

it was more than just
                  D/F#
a twinkle in your eye..
but some things you
                    C
just don't get to decide..
            Em
at least we tried..

          C           D           Em
the first casualty of life is the plan..
       C                 D         Em
when i look back i'm not even sure that..
            D
we were thinking..

[Reff]
 G
 somewhere
                                 D
 she's probably dancing with her blonde hair
                             C
 falling like ribbons on her shoulders
                Em      D
 just like we always saw..

 G
 bright eyes
                            D
 spinning in circles in the sunlight
                               C
 darling we tried but now it's over
                        Em
 we had it all and then we lost..
 D                    G
  the girl that never was..

           G
if i could say..
a million words
                 D/F#
to take away the pain..
what kills me is you
                   C
trying to take the blame
              Em
you're not to blame..

     G
i'll never say i told you so
but sad i've thought the words
      D/F#
tried drowning you in happiness
i only make it worse
   C
we never should've picked a name
cause now she has a face
    Em
and now no matter what we do
no one will take her place

[Reff]
 G
 somewhere
                                 D
 she's probably dancing with her blonde hair
                             C
 falling like ribbons on her shoulders
                Em      D
 just like we always saw..

 G
 bright eyes
                            D
 spinning in circles in the sunlight
                               C

                        Em
 we had it all and then we lost..
