Leighton Meester — Words I Couldn’t Say

Capo on the 6th

VERSE:
  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:
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
