Sometimes at night when everyone is sleepin’ 
        C                                           G7 
For me it seems sleep just won’t come 
C 
My mind goes back and I get that same sweet 
F 
feelin’ 
C                                  G7             C 
When I had you and love was young 
 
Chorus
    C                             F 
The saddest words from lip or pen 
C                  C                                       G7 
Are the words … “Oh, it might have been” 
           C 
If my dreams could only be 
    F 
If you were here with me 
                           C           F        C 
But they’re like mist in the wind 
                            F              C 
And saddest words from lips or pen 
      G            C 
”It might have been

When mornin’ comes and night is soon forgotten 
            C                                      G7 
As the cares of the day takes control 
         C                                                        G 
And I’m busy with the new life that I’m livin’ 
            C                  G7                       C 
Never letting your memory take a hold

A                                                               G 
Then I heard an old song we used to sing 
           D                          A 
And it started all over again 
          D                                         G 
Your memory keeps comin’ to haunt me 
                         D              A                  D 
I heard those words “It might have been” 
 
Chorus
        A                         G                  D 
The saddest words from lips or pen 
D                                                            A 
Are the words … “Oh, it might have been” 
D 
If my dreams could only be 
F 
If you were here with me 
                      D           G     D 
They’re like mist in the wind 
                         G                 D 
And saddest words from lips or pen 
             A           C 
”It might have been” 
A               D 
Mmmm… Mmmm… Mmmm
