Words I Couldnt Say

Rascal Flatts


Tom: B

B     F#                 G#m         F#
In a book, in a box, in the closet
B     F#                 G#m         F#
In a line in a song I once heard
    C#m           B                  F#
In a moment on a front porch late one June
    C#m           B                  F#
In a breath inside a whisper, beneath the moon

B        F#                   G#m      F#
There it was at the tip of my fingers
B        F#                   G#m      F#
There it was on the tip of my tongue
        C#m             B              F#
There you were and I had never been that far
        C#m                 B          A
There it was; the whole world wrapped inside my arms
      E                 F#
And I let it all slip away


[Chorus]
B                  A
What do I do now that you're gone
   E          
No back up plan no second chance 
   G#m             F#
And no one else to blame
B                    A            E      
All I can hear in the silence that remains
        F#
Are the words I couldn't say

B F# G#m   F#   2x


[Verse 2]
B        F#                       G#m       F#
Theres a rain that will never stop fallin
B        F#                       G#m       F#
Theres a wall that I tried to take down
       C#m                  B               F#
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips
      C#m                 B           A
So I held back and now we've come to this
E                       F#
And it's too late now


[Chorus]
B                  A
What do I do now that you're gone
E  
No back up plan no second chance 
   G#m             F#
And no one else to blame
B                  A                E
All I can hear in the silence that remains
F#
Are the words I couldn't say


[Instrumental]
B A E A   x2
 

   C#m                         B               A
I should have found a way to to tell you how I felt
                                 F#
Now the only one I'm telling is myself


[Chorus]
B                A
What do I do now that you're gone
   E
No back up plan no second chance 
G#m                F#
And no one else to blame
B                     A             E 
All I can hear in the silence that remains(silence that remains)
        F#
Are the words I couldn't say 
B
What do I do
A
what do I say
E  
No back up plan no second chance
G#m                F#
And no one else to blame
B                     A              E 
All I can hear in the silence that remains
F#
Are the words I couldn't say
