Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Could  have been the kiss  of my life
 Could have been the death  of me
 Could have been that I  was just too scared
 To wait  around and see
You  could have been a guardian  angle
 I could have been the wicked one
 Besides the buttons  on our shirts
 What else did we leave undone
 When we ran
 When we ran
 When we ran
 Was it just the time  slippin' through our hands
 Right through our hands
 Maybe I was tryin'  to tell ya
 I'd never known a love  so strong
 Maybe in the shadows  of the night
 We just couldn't tell right from wrong
 Maybe its a real-life  story
 Livin' with the sad  regrets
 Maybe you were  just a sweet dream  baby
 Somethin' that I can't forget
 When we ran
 When we ran
 When we ran
 Was it just the time  slippin' through our hands
 Right through our hands
You  only had to say the word
 I would have turned around and  heard
 But as it is we can't turn back
 The mind's just a loose  cannon, baby
 And the memories, rolling  dice
 We found something  one time, baby
 But we thought about it twice
 And we ran
 When we ran
 When we ran  and we ran  and we ran  and we ran
