Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Em][C][Am][F][C][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Tax
i's pulling up at the front [Em]door
All [Am]I can do is look awa[F]y
The si[C]lence screaming out
from [Em]the night before
From [Am]everything that we
did[C]n't say[F]

[Verse 2]
We might fall [Dm]apart
We might come undone
[G]But there's som[Dm]ething
on the tip of my [G]tongue

[Verse 3]
I told you [C]I would be o[F]kay
I said I [C]won't stand in your [F]way
[C]But I should have sai[Dm]d I love you
I just want you [G]to stay

[Verse 4]
But that's what I meant to say
[C]We [Am]never[F] s[C]aid a word
through the week[Em]end
Now [Am]Monday comes in like [F]a storm
[C]Never put the words to the feel[Em]ings
So [Am]what [G]this parody's for

[Verse 5]
[F]If you're not with me[Dm]
Won't know who to [G]be
Never [Dm]thought that you'd
really [Gsus4]leave[G]

[Verse 6]
I told you [C]I would be o[F]kay
I said I [C]won't stand in your [F]way
[C]But I should have sai[Dm]d I love you
I just want you [G]to stay

[Verse 7]
That's what I meant to say
[Am]That I want you
[Abaug]Won't make it through this
[C]Tongue tied and twisted
[F#dim]And close to alone
I [F]hope it's not too late
[G]To say what I meant to say

[Verse 8]
I told you [C]I would be a[F]lright
I told my[C]self the same old [F]lies
[C]I should have hel[Dm]d you closer
I just need you to stay
[G][Am]

[Verse 9]
[G]
I told you [C]I would be o[F]kay
I said I [C]won't stand in your [F]way
[C]But I should have sai[Dm]d I love you
I just want you [G]to stay
[Em]That's what I [G]meant [C]to say[Am]
[F]That's what I meant [C]to say[Am]
[F]That's what I meant [C]to say[Am]
[F]That's what I meant [C]to say[Am]
[F]That's what I meant
[F]
