Verse 1:

        G       Fadd9 C
        I didn't cry
        G     Fadd9        C          G         Fadd9 C
        I just stood and watched her say goodbye
         G            Fadd9 C
        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?

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

                   Bm     Em    
        Why didn't I try telling her
         A7       D
        She was all I had
                   Bm     Em
        Why didn't I try telling her
        A7         D          D7         G
        Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad
