It Should've Been You - Acoustic Version
Oh, take a look at my way
A single-sided highway
Where I find the constant sight
From left and right
Ain't there
Cause I live each week on the chances
That you've got no better plans and
Though I never think to ask
I never even think to show I care
And same thought comes to me
No matter where
It should've been you
Sitting by me
It should've been you
On the phone
It should've been you just rockin'
While riding shotgun
On that night's long way home
It should've been you
'Cross the table
It should've been you
'Cross my way
But it never was and yet every time, I say
It should've been you
Always just one seat left on to the right
Just an invisible reservation sign
That is just right for you
And yet, you just have no clue
And that void will stay on since
I rely entirely on coincidence
That those between us
Will fill in all the ties
But how rare those tears will tie
It should've been you
Sitting by me
It should've been you
On the phone
It should've been you just rockin'
While riding shotgun
On that night's long way home
It should've been you
'Cross the table
It should've been you
'Cross my way
But it never was and yet every time, I say
It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
Sitting by me
It should've been you
On the phone
It should've been you just rockin'
While riding shotgun
On that night's long way home
It should've been you
'Cross the table
It should've been you
'Cross my way
But it never was and yet every time, I say
It should've been you
Tagging along now
It should've been you
To make this pair
It should be probably somebody else
But there's nobody else
So why the hell aren't you here?
It should've been you
Instead of the others
It should've been you
Fancy or plain
Cause at the end of the night
I always find myself saying
Oh, cause at the end of the night
I always find myself saying
It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
A single-sided highway
Where I find the constant sight
From left and right
Ain't there
Cause I live each week on the chances
That you've got no better plans and
Though I never think to ask
I never even think to show I care
And same thought comes to me
No matter where
It should've been you
Sitting by me
It should've been you
On the phone
It should've been you just rockin'
While riding shotgun
On that night's long way home
It should've been you
'Cross the table
It should've been you
'Cross my way
But it never was and yet every time, I say
It should've been you
Always just one seat left on to the right
Just an invisible reservation sign
That is just right for you

It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
It should've been you
