Verse 1:
G FaddC
I didn't cry

I just stood and watched her say goodbye
G Fadd9C
She closed the do-or
G Fadd9 C D
And said "I don't want to see you anymore"
Chorus:
G
Things I should have said to her
F C F C G
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
G
Things I should have said to her
F C F C Dsus4 D
Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way"
Verse 2:
Was it that she
Just couldn't understand a man like me
Was I to blame
Did I leave too many things unexplained?
