In a book in a box in the clos et;
in a line in a song I once heard;
in a mo ment on a front porch late one (G)June;
in a breath in side a whis per be neath the moon.
There he was, at the tips of my fin gers;
there he was on the tip of my tongue.
There you were, and I had nev er been that (G)far.
in a breath in side a whis per be neath the moon.
There he was, the whole world wrapped in side my (Bb)arms.
And I let it all (F)slip a way.
(C)What do I do now that you’re (C)gone?
No (F)back up plan, no sec ond chance, and (Am7)no one else to blame.
(C)All I can hear in the si lence (Csus)that (C)re (Csus)mains
are the (Gsus)words I could n’t say.
(G)words I could n’t say.
I should ’ve (Dm)found a way to tell you how I (Bb)felt;
now (C)the on ly one I’m (F)tell ing is my self.
