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
(Key change to C# sharp everything or capo 3 to play with video)
[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
