[Chorus]
A
I never told you that I loved you.
F#m
I never told you that I cared.
D
Those words were spinning 'round me, could've used them,
E A
but I guess I left them hangin' there.
A
I never told you I was leavin'.
F#m
I just vanished in the air.
D
I left your mouth so full of questions
E A
and an empty rockin' chair.
[Verse]
A
Now all those dreams you dreamed of livin'
F#m
where I was building fences 'round our yard.
D
I think I was building your defences,
E A
keeping others from my heart.
D
And all those dreams became a nightmare
A
just like smoke before my eyes.
F#m D
I never told you that I loved you
E A
Why oh why couldn't I?
[Chorus]
A
I never told you that I loved you.
F#m
I never told you that I cared.
D
Those words were spinning 'round me, could've used them,
E A
but I guess I left them hangin' there.
A
I never told you I was leavin'.
F#m
I just vanished in the air.
D
I left your mouth so full of questions
E A
and an empty rockin' chair.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
A
And as a child runs from danger...
F#m
Yeah, that's how I ran from you
D
Now I'm a perfect stranger
E A
I'm just someone you once knew.
D
When did I ever get so cold,
A
to never shed a tear
F#m D
over all the pain I caused you
E A
and the regretlessness I fear?
[Final Chorus]
A
I never told you that I loved you.
F#m
I never told you that I cared.
D
Those words were spinning 'round me, could've used them,
E A
but I guess I left them hangin' there.
A
I never told you I was leavin'.
F#m
I just vanished in the air.
D
I left your mouth so full of questions
E A
and an empty rockin' chair.
F#m D
I left your mouth so full of questions
E A
and an answer I can't share.
Revisions are welcome!
