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

CHORUS
