Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Should  I?  Could I?
 Have said the wrong things right  a thousand times
 If I could just rewind,  I see it in my mind
 If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine
You  cried,  I died
 I should have shut my mouth,  things headed south
 As the words slipped off my tongue,  they sounded dumb
 If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one
 I'm  wasting time when I  think about it
 
 I should have  drove all night,
 I would  have run all the lights
 I was misunderstood
 I stumbled  like my words,
 Did  the best I could
 Damn,  misunderstood
 
 Could  I? Should  I?
 Apologize  for sleeping on the couch that  night
 Staying  out too late with  all my friends
 You found me passed out in the yard again
 You  cried, I tried
 To stretch  the truth, but didn't lie
 
 It's  not so bad when you  think about it
 
 I should  have drove  all night,
 I would  have run all the lights
 I was misunderstood
 I stumbled  like  my words,
 Did the  best I could
 Damn,  misunderstood
 Intentions  good

 It's you  and I, just think about  it...
 
 I should  have drove all  night,
 I would have  run all the lights
 I was misunderstood
 I stumbled  like my words,
 Did the best  I could
 I 'm hanging  outside  your door
 I've been  here before
 Misunderstood
 I stumbled  like my words, did the  best I could
 Damn, misunderstood
 Intentions  good
