{intro} 
 
      Gmaj7         G6 
I can read your eyes just like a book 
Gmaj7                          G6 
  You tell me different, but I know that look 
    C                    C                        Gmaj7  G6 
And I don't have to guess what's between the lines 
 
So what in the world am I still doing here 
You push me away when I get too near 
Saying love's too simple to analyze 
 
D              C 
  So why do I feel confused 
D           C 
  Why do I feel so used 
         C               C           Am 
  Like a worn-out thought you threw away 
   D                                    Gmaj7  G6        Gmaj7  G6 
It wasn't what you said, it's what you           didn't say 
 
Where are the windows, where are the doors? 
I haven't the key to your heart anymore 
I haven't a clue to what's gone wrong 
 
'Cause you look at me sometimes as if I weren't there 
You say you're listening, but you never hear 
The strains of silence have grown so strong 
 
I never wanted to doubt you 
But I'd be better off without you 
I'm no good at looking the other way 
It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say 
 
Em               C 
  So look at me one last time 
D                      G 
  With eyes that still know how to shine 
Em                 C 
  Hold me like you won't let go 
    Am            D    Gmaj7  G6  Gmaj7  G6  (etc.) 
But you let go anyway 
 
No one belongs where they're not wanted 
You're just a ghost, and my heart is haunted 
When I said goodbye, you didn't even beg me to stay 
It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say 
No baby, it wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say
