(Verse 1)
[D]Glistening grass from September rain
[G]Grey overpass full of neon names
You [C]drive, [G]85
[D]Gallatin Road and the lakeside beach
[G]Watching the game from your brother's Jeep
Your [C]smile, miles [G]wide
(Chorus)
And it was [D]not an [G]invitation
Should've kissed you [C]anyway
Should've kissed you [G]anyway
And it was [D]not [G]convenient, no
But your girlfriend [C]was away
Should've kissed you [G]anyway
(Verse 2)
[D]Shiny wood floors underneath my feet
[G]Disco ball makes everything look cheap
Have [C]fun, it's [G]prom
[D]Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist
[G]Over his shoulder I catch a glimpse
And [C]see you looking at [G]me
(Chorus)
And it was [D]not an [G]invitation
But as the 50 Cent [C]song played
Should've kissed you [G]anyway
And it was [D]not [G]convenient, no
Would've been the [C]best mistake
Should've kissed you [G]anyway
(Bridge)
[Em] Don't make it [C]awkward in second [G]period
Might piss your [G]ex off, lately we've been [Em]good
Staying friends is [C]safe
Doesn't mean you [G]should
[Em] Don't make it [C]awkward in second [G]period
Might piss your [G]ex off, lately we've been [Em]good
Staying friends is [C]safe
Doesn't mean you [G]should…
(Verse 3)
[D]When I left school I lost track of you
[G]Abigail called me with the bad news
[C]Goodbye
And we'll never know [G]why
(Chorus)
It was [D]not an [G]invitation
But I flew home [C]anyway
With so much [G]left to say
It was [D]not [G]convenient, no
But I whispered [C]at the grave
"Should've kissed you [G]anyway"
(Outro)
And it was [D]not an [G]invitation
Should've kissed you [C]anyway
Should've kissed you [G]anyway
And it was [D]not
My advice is always [G]ruin the friendship
Better [C]that than regret it
For all [G]time
[D] And my advice is always [G]answer the question
Better [C]that than to ask it
All your [G]life
[G]Should've kissed you anyway
