Lyrics

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.

(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 (G)words I could n’t say.

(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 (G)words I could n’t say.

(Gsus)words I could n’t say.
