Gotta do a little bit of reminiscing on the days that just gone by
B B C#m
They say don't look back, but I take things in stride
B B A
Everybody wanna minimize, they want to change what can't be undone
B B C#m
I can see it's a recipe, that always leads to just no fun

[Verse]
B B C#m B B C#m
Haven't slipped that time to take you back I got a few regrets of my own
B B A
She had a diamond eye, beauty all her own, where are you now girl
F#m B B C#m
You know you got that special place I always see you when love spits in my face
[Chorus]
C#m
Regrets, I've had mine
A F#m
Lonely nights and a whole lot of wasted time
C#m
If you see her won't you tell her for me
A F#m
It's better this way to avoid our misery

B B C#m
It's a little bit of luck but whole a lot of hard work takes a toll
B B C#m
Most people don't know when they walk in how they get what's in store
B B A
I thought I'd given up and settled on the blues
B B C#m
But I'd always think of her when I didn't know what to do
B B C#m
It'll be my burden to track when it got hot
B B C#m
When she walked on, I didn't know what I'd just lost
B B A
Maybe she's out there and thinking just like me
B B C#m
What if, what would have happened, what could have been
[Chorus]
C#m
Regrets, I've had mine
A F#m
Lonely nights and a whole lot of wasted time
C#m
If you see her won't you tell her for me

It's better this way to avoid our misery

Regrets, I've had mine
A F#m
Lonely nights and a whole lot of wasted time

If you see her won't you tell her for me
A F#m
It's better this way to avoid our misery
[Bass Part] (single string strumms)
C# F#m A
Sometimes when I think back
Em F#m G#m
I wonder where it was that I lost track
C# F A Em F#m G#m
And I think of you, ha ha baby who knew, who knew
C# F#m A Em F#m G#m
She's out there, she's somewhere I'm losing my head again
C# F#m
She's always haunting me I'm going out of my head
[Chorus]
C#m
Regrets, I've had mine
A F#m
Lonely nights and a whole lot of wasted time
C#m
If you see her won't you tell her for me
A F#m
It's better this way to avoid our misery
