Intro: D Bm C G
 
Verse:
D
Glistening grass from September rain
Bm
Gray overpass full of neon names
      C                        G
You drive (Mm-mm), 85 (Mm-mm)
D
Gallatin Road and the Lakeside Beach
Bm
Watching the game from your brotherʼs Jeep
         C                             G
Your smile (Mm-mm), miles wide
 
Chorus:
                  D               Bm
And it was not an invitation
                                C
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway
                                G
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway
                D              Bm
And it was not convenient, no
                             C
But your girlfriend was away
                              G
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway, hey
 
Verse:
D
Shiny wood floors underneath my feet
Bm
Disco ball makes everything look cheap
         C                         G
Have fun (Mm-mm), itʼs prom (Mm-mm)
D
Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist
Bm
Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse
      C
And see (Mm-mm)
                     G
You looking at me
 
Chorus:
                D                Bm
And it was not an invitation
                           C
But as the 50 Cent song played (Song played)
                              G
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway (Anyway)
                  D              Bm
And it was not convenient, no (It was not, convenient)
                           C
Wouldʼve been the best mistake
                                G
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway, hey
 
Bridge:
Em                           C                       G
   Donʼt make it awkward in second period
                          D                                  Em
Might **** your ex off, lately weʼve been good
                         C                               G        D
Staying friends is safe, doesnʼt mean you should
Em                            C                      G
  Donʼt make it awkward in second period
                          D                                   Em
Might **** your ex off, lately weʼve been good
                         C                               G
Staying friends is safe, doesnʼt mean you should

D
When I left school, I lost track of you
Bm
Abigail called me with the bad news
         C                                    G
Goodbye, and weʼll never know why
            D               Bm
It was not an invitation
                        C
But I flew home anyway
                     G
With so much left to say
          D                Bm
It was not convenient, no
                         C
But I whispered at the grave
                                G
"Shouldʼve kissed you anyway"
 
Chorus:
                       D               Bm
Oh, and it was not an invitation (It was not, an invitation)
                                C
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway (Anyway)
                                G
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway, anyway (Anyway)
 
Outro:
                  D
And it was not—
                                Bm
My advice is always ruin the friendship
                   C                            G
Better that than regret it for all time
                                       D
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway
                                     Bm
And my advice is always answer the question
           C                                    G
Better that than to ask it all your life
                                       D   Bm
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway
                                       C   G
Shouldʼve kissed you anyway
