Rascal Flatts - Words I couldn't say
****CAPO 2nd FRET****
Intro - A - E - F#m - E = 2x's
(verse 1)
A E F#m - E
In a book in a box in the closet,
A E F#m E
In a line in a song I once heard,
Bm A Esus-E
In a moment on a front porch late one June,
Bm A Esus-E
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon,
(verse 2)
A E F#m E
There it was on the tip of my fingers,
A E F#m E
There it was on the tip of my tongue,
Bm A Esus-E
There you were and I have never been that far,
Bm A G
There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms,
D E
And I let it all slip away,
(chorus)
A G
What do I do now that you're gone,
D
No backup plan no second chance,
F#m E
And no one else to blame,
A G D/F#
All I can hear in the silence that remains,
E A - E - F#m - E
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)
A G
What do I do now that you're gone,
D
No backup plan no second chance,
F#m E
And no one else to blame,
A G D/F#
All I can hear in the silence that remains,
E
Are the words I couldn't say
(lead - A - G - D/F# - F-E - A - G - D/F# - G - A)
(Bridge)
Bm A G
Should have found a way to tell you how I felt,
D Esus-E
Now the only one I'm telling is myself,
(chorus)
A G
What do I do now that you're gone,
D
No backup plan no second chance,
F#m E
And no one else to blame,
A G D/F#
All I can hear in the silence that remains,
E
Are the words I couldn't say
Outro (/ add lib) = A - G - D - F#m - E - A - G - D/F# - E
