Song: The Things I Didn't Say


First Verse


G                                     C                G
I didn't say, "Don't do it babe" when she packed up to go
G D                                                     G
I didn't say "Come back here honey and try with me once more"
G                                                       C
And when she asked me if I loved her, I just turned away
C     D                                C               G
She's gone and now I'm hearing all the things I didn't say


Chorus


                  D                  C
I didn't say "I'm sorry babe, 'cause half the fault was mine"
              D                                        C               
   G
I didn't say "We'll work it out, 'cause all we need is love and faith and time"
G                                                            C
I said "If that's the way you want it, I won't stand in your way"
C     D                                                G
She's gone and now I'm hearing all the things I didn't say


Second Verse


G                                C                  G
I didn't take her in my arms and kiss away her tears
G D                                                        G
I didn't say "My life don't mean a thing if you ain't here"
G                                                  C
I thought of all the many games I'd be free to play
C   D
But all I do is listen to the things I didn't say


Chorus


                   D                             C                G
I didn't say "Take off your coat, I'll make some coffee and we'll talk"
              D                                C              G
I didn't say "The motorway, is such a long and lonely endless walk"
G                                                                   C
I said "Goodbye, good luck and God bless you", then she slipped away
C   D                                                    G
And left me here to live with all the things I didn't say


Outro


G   D
And now I guess she'll never hear the things I didn't say...
