It Could Have Been Me chords

INTRO: [E] [Ebm] [D] [Dbm] [C]

#1.
[E]Organ music softly [Eb]playing, sounds of [Abm7]people's
whispers saying, [D]she's a pretty bride, you're
such a [Dbm]lucky [A]man.
I smile and [Cm]blink the tears away, and [B]find the
proper words to say, while [Bbm]aching with a pain
[Gb]they just can't under[B]stand.

[CHORUS]
It could have been [E]me, wearing that [Gb]dress of [Gbm]white.
[Gbm]It could have been me, holding you [E]close tonight.
[E]It could have been me, giving your [Gb]children [Gbm]life.
[Gbm]Why can't it be me, who'll be your [E]wife?

#2.
[E]Now, we're gathered, all together, you [Ebm]vow your love,
for worse or [B]better.
[E]Lift her veil and kiss her, with a [Dbm]tender love.
Then [Am]leading her, back up the aisle, I [E]try meet your
eyes and smile, but [Bbm]all the time, [B]my [Gb]heart is breaking,
[B]so.

[CHORUS]
It could have been [E]me, wearing that [Gb]dress of [Gbm]white.
[Gbm]It could have been me, holding you [E]close tonight.
[E]It could have been me, giving your [Gb]children [Gbm]life.
[Gbm]Why can't it be me, who'll be your [E]wife?

#3.
[F]I toast the lovely bride and [E]groom, and [Am]as you leave
the noisy [F]room, they say it's my turn to catch the
[Gm7]bride's bouquet.
And [Db]as the crowd goes streaming past and [C]someone says,
he's [F]hers at last, I [G]hold my pretty flowers and slowly
[C]walk away.

[CHORUS]
Could this be a [F]dream, will I be wearin' that [Gm7]dress

of white?
Could it really be [C]me, who'd be holdin' you [F]close tonight?
Please say that it's me, who'd be giving your [G]children [Gm7]life.
Wake me from this [C]dream, take me for your [F]wife.

[CHORUS]
[F]It's only a dream, I'll be wearing that [Gm7]dress of white.
It was just a bad [C]dream, I'll be holding you [F]close tonight.
I'm proud that it's me, who will be giving your [G]children [Gm7]life.
Thank God, that it's [C]me, [G]who'll [Gm7]be your [F]wife.

[OUTRO]
[F]It's only a dream, I'll be wearing that [Gm7]dress of white.
It was just a bad [C]dream, I'll be holding you c[F]lose tonight.
I'm proud that it's me, who will be giving your [G]children [Gm7]life.
Thank God, that it's [C]me, [G]who'll [Gm7]be your [F]wife..(Fade.)
