Capo 1
You should ve been there as the sun went down
Colors ran all across the ground
And a thousand stars were spinning all around
Do you care? You should ve been there
I saved you place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend I had in sight
Was an empty chair, you should ve been there
Ran into some people we used to know
They were going somewhere I didn t want to go
So I kept on waiting for just a little bit more
Not getting anywhere, you should ve been there
Then I thought I saw you walking by into town
Into the crowd I went chasing you down
When I grabbed your arm she spun around
A stranger glared, you should ve been there
Yeah, you should ve been there
You should ve been there, there s always so much to see
In this old town, don t you agree?
But then again, I never said I d be
Anywhere, you should ve been there
I saved you place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend I had in sight
Was an empty chair, you should ve been there
Ran into some people we used to know
They were going somewhere I didn t want to go
So I kept on waiting for just a little bit more
Not getting anywhere, you should ve been there
Then I thought I saw you walking by into town
Into the crowd I went chasing you down
When I grabbed your arm she spun around
A stranger glared, you should ve been there
[Solo]
Well, you should ve been there as the sun went down
Colors ran all across the ground
And a thousand stars were spinning all around
Do you care? You should ve been there
Yeah, you should ve been there, there s always so much to see
This is a wild town, don t you agree?
Then again, girl, I never said I d be
Anywhere, you should ve been there
Oh, you should ve been there
