Verse 1:

      G5       F5 C5
      I didn't cry
      G5     F5        C5          G5         F5 C5
      I just stood and watched her say goodbye
       G5            F5 C5
      She closed the  do-or
      G5          F5           C5       D5
      And said "I don't want to see you anymore"

Chorus:

       G5
      Things I should have said to her
            F5     C5           F5          C5       G5
      That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
       G5
      Things I should have said to her
             F5       C5       F5       C5         D5 D5
      Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way"

Verse 2:

      Was it that she
      Just couldn't understand a man like me
      Was I to blame
      Did I leave too many things unexplained?

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

                 B5     E5    
      Why didn't I try telling her
       A5       D5
      She was all I had
                 B5     E5
      Why didn't I try telling her
      A5         D5          D5         G5
      Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad
