Words I Couldn't Say chords by Leighton Meester

• Capo on 6th

VERSE 1:

   G.                        Cadd9

In a book, in a box, in the closet

G.                           Cadd9

In a line, in a song I once heard

Am.                        G.          D

In a moment on a front porch late one June

Am.                        G.         D

In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon


G.                                     Cadd9

There it was at the tips of my fingers

G.                                     Cadd9

There it was on the tip of my tongue

Am.                      G.            D

There you were and I had never been that far

Am.                        G.                 D

There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms

Am.        C.     D

And I let it all slip away


CHORUS:

G.                 Cadd9

What do I do now that you're gone

 C
No back up plan, no second chance


Em.                     D

And no one else to blame

G.              Cadd9.             C
All I can hear in the silence that remains

D.                C.                                G
Are the words I couldn't say

VERSE 2:
There's a rain that will never stop fallin'
There's a wall that I tried to take down
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips
So I held back and now we've come to this
And it's too late now

CHORUS


BRIDGE:

Am.                            G.                                   F

I should have found a way to tell you how I felt

Am.                                       F

Now the one I'm telling is myself
