- [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
-
