[Verse]
                       DCan I believe my ears?
DIs this'a really you?
AmPacing the floor with one eye on the door, huh
DWatching the winners go to
                AmWhy do you hang back now?
                   DWhy d'you hesitate?
                      AmYou know, fires don't burn
           DFor he who waits

[Chorus]
                  BmOut of all of the people
            EmThat I ever knew
                   CIf one should have made it

[Verse]
        AmWell, I know who I'm looking for
      DBut I don't believe my eyes
    AmThe sight of you with your head hung low
    DIs a sick, sad surprise
                     AmNow, why do you hang back now?
               DWhy d'you hesitate?
             AmHow dare you throw it all away then you tell me
    D"Oh man, it must be fate"

[Chorus]
                  BmOut of all of the people
            EmThat I ever knew

                        AmAnd it should have been you

[Verse]
  AmA gift that dies is a tragic thing
      DAnd it happens all the time
      Am                                        DBut a gift that's wasted, thrown to hell is the
DWorst of stupid crimes
               AmI saw you hang back now
                  DI watched you hesitate
         AmYou're a well respected man, but bullshit
                  DYou could've been great

[Chorus]
               BmOut of all the people

                        AmAnd it should have been you
                    DIt should have been you

                 AmFor someone like you
                    DIt should have been you
                    BmIt should have been you
