Rascal Flatts - Words I couldn't say



    ****CAPO 2nd FRET****



Intro - A - E - F#m - E = 2x's





(verse 1)
A     E                    F#m  - E
In a book in a box in the closet,
A     E               F#m         E
In a line in a song I once heard,
Bm                A                    Esus-E
In a moment on a front porch late one June,
     Bm                A                   Esus-E
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon,


(verse 2)
A         E                   F#m      E
There it was on the tip of my fingers,
A         E               F#m         E
There it was on the tip of my tongue,
          Bm                A              Esus-E
There you were and I have never been that far,
         Bm                   A                 G    
There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms,
              D        E
And I let it all slip away,



(chorus)
A                 G
What do I do now that you're gone,
    D
No backup plan no second chance,
   F#m              E
And no one else to blame,
A                       G             D/F#
All I can hear in the silence that remains,
          E                 A - E - F#m - E
Are the words I couldn't say




(verse 2)

There's a rain that will never stop fallin,
There's a wall that I tried to take down,
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips,
So I held back and now we've come to this,
And it's too late now,



(chorus)
A                 G
What do I do now that you're gone,
    D
No backup plan no second chance,
   F#m              E
And no one else to blame,
A                       G             D/F#
All I can hear in the silence that remains,
          E                 
Are the words I couldn't say



(lead - A - G - D/F# - F-E - A - G - D/F# - G - A)



(Bridge)
             Bm             A              G
Should have found a way to tell you how I felt,
                       D           Esus-E
Now the only one I'm telling is myself,


(chorus)
A                 G
What do I do now that you're gone,
    D
No backup plan no second chance,
   F#m              E
And no one else to blame,
A                       G             D/F#
All I can hear in the silence that remains,
          E                 
Are the words I couldn't say
