Sorry for not having lyrics in the intro, it would have been tedious and you can play
at your own speed
This is 100% but I have simplified it because James and I play it with slaps on the
strings and in the chorus there are some picked notes but mostly strummed are the intro
so I
didn't bother and I hate it when people do this when I'm learning but once your in their
shoes it takes very long and hey I learnt this by watching him a RTL2 Radio station

Chorus:
I'll make t[Am]he best of this li[Em]fe I've got left
[B7]Got no time for [Em]no regrets
Gonna [Am]show you just what[G] I can be
The [B7]person I should have [Em]been
And it might take time, take time
Coz this [Am7]life has taken [B7]it right out of [Em]me
[Am7]I wanna change my [B7]perspective of [G]reality
Dm G C
Be a much better version of me
The [B7]person I should have [Em]been[E--2---3]
I make the [Am]best of this life [Em]I've got left
[B7]Put my sincerity [Em]to the test
Wake [Am]up my senses [G]finally
The [B7]water washes me [Em]clean
What[Am] shouldn't have been has [Em]all been done
If[B7] I don't get a grip
Then the [Em]world has won
[Am]Making me think that I'll[G] never be
The[B7] person I should have [Em]been
Who am I no[Am7]w?
A [B7]lonely man that's [Em]fallen down
No I can't [Am7]change
The [B7]past that time has [Em]all burned out
C C#dim A7
But I know somewhere inside of me
Is the [Am7]person I[B7] could have be[Em]en[E--2--3]
Make the [Am]best of this life [Em]I've got left
[B7]Got no time for [Em]no regrets
Gonna [Am]show you just what [G]I can be
The [B7]person I should have [Em]been
What[Am] shouldn't have been has [Em]all been done
If[B7] I don't get a grip
Then the [Em]world has won
[Am]Making me think that I'll[G] never be
The[B7] person I should have [Em]been
Outro:
I said th[Am]e perso[G]n, p[B7]erson I should have [Em]been
The [Am]person,[G] [B7]person I should have[Em] been
The [Am]person [G] [B7] I should have [Em]been
I said the[Am] person[G], [B7]person I should have[Em] been
