E                B       C#m          A     
            regret, i'll not be a prisoner in your cell. 
             E                B         C#m           A    
           regret, i'll not be at the bottom of your well. 
             E               B         C#m           A    
           regret, i'll not be looking through your bars. 
             E            B        C#m         A   -  G#m 
             regret, I'll not be dreaming of your stars. 
 
                    C#m            A      E      G#m 
                   sometimes it comes - big regret - 
                    A            E          F#m          
              and i haven't learned to deal with it yet 
                  C#m              A        E      G#m 
                 and it's not that i'm unhappy in life 
                           A                       E 
                 just wonder what would have happened 
                                            G# 
                           on different lines. 
 
                            E      B   C#m    G# 
                          what if, i wonder how? 
                       A        E       F#m     G# 
                     so far away from here and now. 
                           E      B    G#m   G# 
                             if only, i wish; 
                    A          E          F#m      G# 
                 i'll never know those paths i missed. 
 
                    C#m            A      E      G#m 
                   sometimes it comes - big regret - 
                              A       E        F#m 
              catches me unawares lest i should forget. 
                         C#m     A      E       G#m 
                     weighs me down; blocks me out, 
                     A        E                       G# 
            just when i thought i'd got rid of the doubt. 
 
                    Ebm           Db      B        Bb 
                  and i know it makes no sense at all 
                      B               Db              Db 
         to let the "what ifs" come and pin me to the wall. 
                   Ebm         Db         B            B 
             but i'm standing here in the face of regret 
                      F#       A                     G# 
              and i don't know how to deal with it yet.
