Arthur Russell - I Couldn't Say It To Your Face, 
from the album Love Is Overtaking Me


           Bb             F
I couldn't say it to your face,
            Gm            F    Bbsus2 F
but I won't be around any more.
           Bb             F
I couldn't say it to your face,
            Gm            F
but I won't be around any more.

  Gm       C           Am            Bb
I needed a place, so I walked in the door,
           Bb             F
I couldn't say it to your face,
            Gm            F    Bbsus2 F
but I won't be around any more.


     F  Dm          Am Bb
It's my world, it's my song,
C          Eb
didn't ask you to sing along.
   C  F     Dm  Bb    Am           Gm              C6    C
In my arms, you girl, you won't be here to say I'm wrong.


           Bb             F                Gm            F    Bbsus2  F
I couldn't say it to your face but I won't be around any more.
           Bb             F
I couldn't say it to your face,
            Gm            F
but I won't be around any more.

  Gm          C           Am             Bb
I needed some space, so I walked out the door,
           Bb             F
I couldn't say it to your face,
            Gm            F    Bbsus2  F
but I won't be around any more.


F Dm     
I heard 
Am   Bb  C          Eb
them say maybe some day I'd have to pay.

  C     F   
I don't say
Dm  Bb   Am          Gm                    Csus4  C
one word to let you know I'm going away.


           Bb             F
I couldn't say it to your face,
            Gm            F    Bbsus2 F
but I won't be around any more.
           Bb             F
I couldn't say it to your face,
            Gm            F
but I won't be around any more.

  Gm       C           Am            Bb
I needed a place, so I walked in the door.
           Bb             F
I couldn't say it to your face,
            Gm            F    Bbsus2  F
but I won't be around any more.
