James Blunt - The Girl That Never Was Chords

[intro]
G

[verse 1]
        G
Darling I,
                                      D
know we talked about it once too many times,
                                        C
how there was something missing in our lives.
          Em
a little life.
        G
So we tried,
                                         D
it was more than just a twinkle in your eye,
                                         C
but some things you 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.

[chorus]
G                                            D
Somewhere, she's probably dancing with her blonde hair,
                              C
falling like ribbons on her shoulders,
                 Em      D
just like we always saw.
G                                        D
Bright eyes, spinnig in circles in the sunlight,
                           C
darling, we tried but now it's over.
                         Em     D
We had it all and then we lost,
                     G
the girl that never was.

[verse 2]
            G                                    D
If I could say a million words to take away the pain
                                          C
what kills me is you're trying to take the blame,
                Em
you're not to blame.
      G
I'll never say I told you so, sad I've thought the words,
        D
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.

[chorus]
G                                            D
Somewhere, she's probably dancing with her blonde hair,
                              C
falling like ribbons on her shoulders,
                 Em      D
just like we always saw.
G                                        D
Bright eyes, spinning in circles in the sunlight,
                           C
darling, we tried but it's over,
                         Em
we had it all and then we lost,
D
 the girl that never was.

[bridge]
C    D               Em
I know we'll never know you,
C    D              Em
I know we'll never hold you,
C   D            Em          D
I never got to show you, my love.

[chorus]
       G
Cause somewhere,
                                  D
you're probably dancing with her blonde hair,
                              C
falling like ribbons on your shoulders,
                 Em
just like we always saw.
G                                        D
Bright eyes, spinning in circles in the sunlight,
                           C
darling, we tried but now it's over,
                         Em     D
we had it all and then we lost,
                     G
the girl that never was.
