I didn't say, 'Don't do it babe' when she packed up to go

C     D                                C               G 
She's gone and now I'm hearing all the things I didn't say

C     D                                                G

I didn't take her in my arms and kiss away her tears 
G D                                                        G 
I didn't say 'My life don't mean a thing if you ain't here' 
G                                                  C 
I thought of all the many games I'd be free to play 
C   D 
But all I do is listen to the things I didn't say 



                   D                             C                G 
I didn't say 'Take off your coat, I'll make some coffee and we'll talk' 
              D                                C              G 
I didn't say 'The motorway, is such a long and lonely endless walk' 
G                                                                   C 
I said 'Goodbye, good luck and God bless you', then she slipped away 
C   D                                                    G 
And left me here to live with all the things I didn't say

And now I guess she'll never hear the things I didn't say...
