Intro: F Am Bb C Dm C Bb C


F    Am      Bb      C
Last night I told a lie
F      Am               Bb   C
When I told you I could say goodbye
F    Am     Bb        C
Here in the light of day
Bb      Am              Bb     C
What a crazy thing for me to say?


CHORUS

F      Am
What I meant to say was
Bb      C
I love you
F           Am 
What?s been killing me is
Bb     C
I hurt you
Dm     C             Bb
What I didn't do was hold you
       C                 F Am Bb C 
When I saw the teardrops fall
F      Am  
What I should have said was
Bb   C
I?m sorry
F      Am                  
What I should have said was
Bb       C
Forgive me
Dm     C        
What I meant to say was
Bb      C
What I didn't say at all

F        Am             Bb      C
You were really walking out on me
F   Am    Bb          C
I woke up scared to death
Bb      Am                Bb        C
Please forget about the things I said?
