G               Bm            Em
Maybe there's a reason why we broke up
        C                             D
I could dedicate my life to something new
      G               Bm               Em
But I must have been asleep but then I woke up
C                                D
Working out why I was still with you
Am               F                 D
All the things I wish I could have been
 
[Chorus]
              G
Wouldn’t I be someone, someone
                  Am
And I would be respected
       D                                                G
In the prime of my life I'll do evrything right, I’ll begin
G
Wouldn’t I be something, something
                  Am
I would get a reputation
       D                                                 G
In the prime of my life, I'll do evrything right, I’ll begin
 
[Break] 
G    D   G  D   G
 
G                  Bm            Em
Midnight stars are shining on my shoeshine
C                               D
Telling me the things I'm gonna be
G                             Bm               Em
Now the hurts all gone , I've pushed them all behind me
        C                                D
And the world is gonna fall in love with me
Am               F                 D
All the things I wish I could have been
 
 
[Chorus]
              G
Wouldn’t I be someone, someone
                  Am
And I would be respected
       D                                                G
In the prime of my life I'll do evrything right, I’ll begin
G
Wouldn’t I be something, something
                  Am
I would get a reputation
       D                                                 G
In the prime of my life, I'll do evrything right, I’ll begin
