Verse 1:

      G       F9 C
      I didn't cry
      G     F9        C          G         F9 C
      I just stood and watched her say goodbye
       G            F9 C
      She closed the  do-or
      G          F9           C       D
      And said "I don't want to see you anymore"

Chorus:

       G
      Things I should have said to her
            F     C           F          C       G
      That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
       G
      Things I should have said to her
             F       C       F       C         D4 D
      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:

                 Bm     Em    
      Why didn't I try telling her
       A7       D
      She was all I had
                 Bm     Em
      Why didn't I try telling her
      A7         D          D7         G
      Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad

      G [N.C.]    F  Bb G [N.C.]   Bb  G
