    When I Was Your Man Chords/Lyrics/Verse

    Am                     C                            Dm
    Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now
    G                        G7                       C                           Em
    Our song on the radio, but it don’t sound the same
    Am                              C                                        Dm
    When our friends talk about you all it does is just tear me down
    G                                                         C
    Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

     

       Em                         Am                    Em
    It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, oooh, oooh
    Bb                                                 C
    Mmm too young, too dumb to realize

    When I Was Your Man Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

           G                                    F         G                    C
    That I should’ve bought you flowers and held your hand
                                             F      G               C
    Shoulda gave you all my hours when I had the chance
                                  F                            G                           Am
    Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
    D7                      F                           Fm                            C        F C      Em
    Now my baby’s dancing, but she’s dancing with another man

    When I Was Your Man Chords/Lyrics/Verse 2

    Am          C                                         Dm
    My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways
    G                                  G7                                 C                Em
    Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
                 Am     C                                      Dm
    Now I’ll never, never get to clean up the mess I made ooh
    G                                                         C
    And that haunts me every time I close my eyes

     

     Em                         Am                    Em
    It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, oooh, oooh
    Bb                                                 C
    Mmm too young, too dumb to realize

    When I Was Your Man Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

           G                                    F         G                    C
    That I should’ve bought you flowers and held your hand
                                             F      G               C
    Shoulda gave you all my hours when I had the chance
                                  F                            G                           Am
    Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
    D7                      F                           Fm                            C        F C      Em
    Now my baby’s dancing, but she’s dancing with another man

    When I Was Your Man Chords/Lyrics/Bridge

                      F                      G                               C G/B     Am     Em
    Although it hurts I’ll be the first to say that I was wrong
             D7
    Oh, I know I’m probably much too late
                     Dm
    To try and apologize for my mistakes
                   G
    But I just want you to know
