The things I didn’t say (intro) (clip)

1. I didn't say, "Don't do it, babe!" when she packed up to go,

D D7 G

I didn't say, "Come back here, honey, and try with me once more!" Oh.

G G7 C

And when she asked me if I loved her, I just turned away,

D D7 G

she's gone and now I'm hearing all the things I didn't say.

I didn't say, "I'm sorry, babe, 'cause half the fault was mine."

D

I didn't say, "We'll work it out, 'cause all we need is

C G

love and faith and time."

G G7 C

I said, "If that's the way you want it, I won't stand in your way."

D D7 G

She's gone and now I'm hearing all the things I didn't say.

2. I didn't take her in my arms and kiss away her tears,

D D7 G

I didn't say, "My life don't mean a thing if you ain't here."

G G7 C

I thought of all the many games I'd be free to play,

D D7 G

but all I do is listen to the things I didn't say.

I didn't say, "Take off your coat, I'll make some coffee and a talk."

D C G

I didn't say, "The motorway is such a long and lonely, endless walk."

G G7 C

I said, "Goodbye, good luck and God bless you!" then she slipped away,

D D7 G

and left me here to live with all the things I didn't say.

D D7 G

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