D
Well, it could have been me
                Am
Living in that house
                 C
With all those rooms
               G
With all that power

              D
And powerful friends
              Am
Flattering friends
                  C
It could have been me
 G                    D      F    C      Em
Oh, it could have been me

                        D
Well, it could have been me
                 Am
Living on that street
             C
Out in the cold
                G
With nothing to eat

            D
Dream of a home
              Am
Dream of a bride
        C
A life alone,
         G
locked outside


                        D
God, it could have been me
Am                       C
Oh, it could have been me
G                      D
Oh, it could have been me
Am                          C
Oh no, it could have been me
 G
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Well, it could have been me
                   Am
It could have been me
                C
Lying in that jungle
              G
Out in that heat

                 D
Fighting for my life
             Am
Dying for nothing
             C
Feeling a bullet
            G
Enter my soul


                        D
Well, it could have been me
Am                       C
Oh, it could have been me

Oh no, it could have been me

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Well, it could have been me,
   Am
Oh me
                 C
Living in that prison
             G
Locked in a cage

             D
Damning the walls
             Am
Damn the division
          C
Wondering why
            G
It had to be me


                        D
Well, it could have been you
Am                     C
Oh, it could have been you

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
