Could've Been Me - John Martyn

It could’ve been, would’ve been, should’ve been, could’ve been

It could’ve been, should’ve been, could’ve been, could’ve been me

It could’ve been, should’ve been, would’ve been, could’ve been me

Could’ve been me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been, could’ve been me)

I see that mountain bear look in his eyes

Watch you follow you back home

Recognize that look in his eye

Wish he’d leave you alone

It could’ve been me, it could’ve been me

I know it might been me

I know it could’ve been me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

See that man waving you goodbye

I see no tear in your eye for him

See that man who’s got, who got a well kept suit

Could’ve been me, could’ve been me

Oh yes, it might have been me

Oh, could’ve been me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

Help me, help me

Help me, help me

Help me, help me

Could’ve been, would’ve been, should’ve been me

Could’ve been, would’ve been, should’ve been me

Could’ve been, would’ve been, should’ve been me

You see that man with that gleam in his eye

I watched him follow you 'round and 'round

I recognize that gleam in his eyes

Someday it would’ve been enough to lay his body on the ground

Could’ve been me, I know

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been, would’ve been me)

It might have been me, I know it could’ve been me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me

(Could've been, would’ve been, should’ve been me)

Help me, help me
