[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
