Verse 1:
  FF
It took me by surprise
    FF
When I saw you standin' there
C majorC
Close enough to touch
C majorC
Breathin' the same air
  FF
You asked me how I'd been
 A minorAm         G+G          FF
I guess that's when I smiled and said just fine
    G+G
Oh, but baby I was lyin'

CHorus:
C majorC            G+G
 What I really meant to say
          A minorAm
Is I'm dyin' here inside
             FF
And I miss you more each day
               C majorC
There's not a night I haven't cried
           G+G
And baby, here's the truth
            DmDm  C majorC
I'm still in love with you
   FF               C majorC   G+G
(And, that's what I really meant to say)


Verse 2:
  FF
And as you walked away
  FF
The echo of my words
C majorC
Cut just like a knife
C majorC
Cut so deep it hurt
FF
I held back the tears
A minorAm      G+G           FF
Held on to my pride and watched you go
      G+G
I wonder if you'll ever know

Chorus:
C majorC            G+G
 What I really meant to say
          A minorAm
Is I'm dyin' here inside
             FF
And I miss you more each day
               C majorC
There's not a night I haven't cried
           G+G
And baby, here's the truth
            DmDm  FF C majorC
I'm still in love with you

C majorC            G+G
 What I really meant to say
            A minorAm
Is I'm really not that strong
        FF
No matter how I try
         C majorC
I'm still holdin' on
           G+G
And here's the honest truth
            DmDm  C majorC
I'm still in love with you
  FF               C majorC   G+G
And, that's what I really meant to say
