What I Meant To Say chords by Chris Daughtry

Chords with lyrics

This song is from the album "Leave This Town" by Daughtry. Seeing no one has done
it yet, I decided to give this one a go.


**Played half-step down**


INTRO

{C#m - BB - E MajorE - B} x2


VERSE 1

C# minorC#m  BB   E MajorE
I woke up today
  BB     C# minorC#m    BB     E MajorE
Seeing all the stars that you have thrown
  BB     C# minorC#m    BB     E MajorE
Wounded by the same old shots you take
  BB     C# minorC#m    BB     E MajorE
It's easier to kick the wind that low

CHORUS

        A augmentedA           E MajorE
And I just thought that you should know
       BB      F#F#        A augmentedA
If I could only know why you'd been letting go
          E MajorE         BB
Then it's not too late to say it right this time
      D MajorD
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
   A augmentedA         BB
But that's not what I meant to say


{C#m - BB - E MajorE - B} x2


VERSE 2

C# minorC#m    BB    E MajorE
Strong enough to say
   BB       C# minorC#m    BB    E MajorE
That I don't wanna take the hard road now
    BB     C# minorC#m   BB   E MajorE
S-S-So typical of you to walk away
     BB       C# minorC#m   BB     E MajorE
When your perfect little world is burning down

CHORUS

       A augmentedA           E MajorE
And I just thought that you should know
       BB        F#F#         A augmentedA
That I'd been holding on while you'd been letting go
       E MajorE
Can I be so bold
         BB        F#F#        A augmentedA
'Cause all this talking all to you's just getting old
          E MajorE        BB
Then it's not too late to say it right this time
     D MajorD
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
   A augmentedA        BB
But that's not what I meant to say


{C#m - BB - E MajorE - BB - C# minorC#m - BB - F#}


BRIDGE


Ah,
A augmentedA            E MajorE
What I really meant to say
   BB           F#F#
With every little breath I take
       A augmentedA          E MajorE
I'm not the only one who makes mistakes
        D MajorD         BB
Just think of all the ones you made


CHORUS


       A augmentedA           E MajorE
And I just thought that you should know
       BB        F#F#         A augmentedA
That I'd been holding on while you'd been letting go
       E MajorE
Can I be so bold
         BB        F#F#        A augmentedA
'Cause all this talking all to you's just getting old
          E MajorE        BB
Then it's not too late to say it right this time
     D MajorD
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
   A augmentedA        BB       A augmentedA E MajorE
But that's not what I meant to say
           BB  F#F# A augmentedA
Not what I meant to say
       E MajorE
Can I be so bold
          BB       F#F#         A augmentedA
'Cause all this talking all to you's just getting old
          E MajorE        BB
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
     D MajorD
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
   A augmentedA         BB     C# minorC#m
But that's not what I meant to say
