C   G   Am   C   F   G   C

[Verse 1]
   G        Am          C
At seventeen   in faded jeans
F                          C    G
  I was yours and you were mine
C        G    Am            C
  Close enough   to call it love
D                      G
  But we never crossed the line

[Pre-Chorus]
F                  C
  After knowing you  love's been nothing new
E7                          Am        F
  I've had it good and I've had it bad

[Chorus]
C           G              C           F
  But after all these years  you still bring the tears
C            G            C   G
  You're the best I never had

[Verse 2]
C           G    Am           C
  A perfect start  for virgin hearts
F                  C       G
  But it ended all so fast
C      G    Am              C
  Old enough   to have been the first
D                          G
  But too young to make it last

[Pre-chorus]
F                    C
  I never let it show  ah I should've let you know
E7                       Am   F
  I never wanted someone   so bad

[Chorus]
C         G                C            F
  Looking back I've learned  with every bridge I've burned
C            G            C   G  Am
  You're the best I never had

[Bridge]
G C     G            Am              C
    The flame is gone   but the fire burns on
F                               C    G
  Sometimes sweet and sometimes sad

[Chorus]
C             G         C            F
  Girl you'll always be   a haunting mystery
C            G            Am   F
  You're the best I never had

[Outro]
C       G              C           F
  After all these years  you still bring the tears
C            G            C
  You're the best I never had
