Lyrics

In a book in a box in the clos et, in a line in a song I once (Am)heard, in a mo ment on a front porch late one June, in a breath in side a whis per be neath the moon, there it was at the tip of my fin gers. There it was on the tip of my (Am)tongue. There you were and I had nev er been that far. There it was: the whole back world wrapped in side my arms, and I let it all (F)slip a way. (C)What do I do now that you’re gone? No (F)back up plan, no sec ond chance and (Am)no one else to blame. (C)All I can hear in the si lence that re mains are the (F)words I could n’t say. There’s a rain that ’ll nev er stop fall ing, there’s a wall that I’ve tried to take (Am)down. What I should ’ve said just would n’t pass my lips, There so, I held whole back and now we’ve come to this, and I and it it’s (F)too late now. (C)What do I do now that you’re gone? No (F)back up plan, no sec ond chance and (Am)no one else to blame. (C)All I can hear in the si lence that re mains are the (F)words I could n’t say. (F)words I could n’t say. I should have (Dm)found a way to tell you how I felt. Now the on ly one I’m (F)tell in’ is my (G)self. (F)words I could n’t say. What do I do, what do I say? And (Am)no one else to blame. (C)All I can hear in the si lence that re mains are the (F)words I could n’t say.
