Leighton Meester - Words I Couldn't Say

                Capo on the 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
