Shouldve Been Me Tab

   
  My first tab. I took a solid stab at this one. Should be quite
accurate, though there are likely some subtle notes that I missed. 
Enjoy the song!

I've read the story, I've seen the movie
I give to charity and tithe my ten percent
These I remember but I so easily forget

All these years never heard it like this


CHORUS:
                  C                  Em 
It should've been me, it should've been us
                D                   Am
Should've been there hanging on a cross
             C              Em
All of this shame, all of these scars
               Bm                     D
Should've been stains that were never washed
         C               Em 
Why do I hide, why do You try
          D             Am
Over and over and over again
                D
I guess it just leaves me saying thank God


POST-CHORUS 1:
           D
Leaves me saying thank God, thank God
For the should've been

I live a good life, I love a great wife
Our kids are beautiful, we got friends down the street
If I'm so thankful, why do I easily forget

That You died for all of this


[CHORUS]

BRIDGE:
          D
leaves me saying thank God
          C                       D 
For this heart You changed, this soul You raised
       G                Am 
My God, for taking my place, yeah, yeah

        //*   The next four lines do not have guitar, but the implied chord
        //  progression is similar to the verse. When playing solo, I like
        //* to play it using to the verse pattern but over C G Am Em C G D.

It should've been me, it should've been us
Should've been there hanging on a cross
All of this shame, all of these scars
Should've been stains that were never washed


CHORUS (Final):
   G/B            C                  Em 
It should've been me, it should've been us
                D                   Am
Should've been there hanging on a cross
             C              Em
All of this shame, all of these scars
               Bm                     D
Should've been stains that were never washed
         C                Em 
Why do I hide, why do You try
          D             Am
Over and over and over again
                D
I guess it just leaves me saying thank God

POST-CHORUS 2:
           D
leaves me saying thank God
                Em    D/F#  G    G/B   C
I guess it just leaves me saying thank God
