Intro:
DD/F#GF#mBmBm/AGAsus4ABmGA
Last night I told a lie
DF#mGA
When I told you I could say goodbye
BmGA
Here in the light of day
CC/BGA
What a crazy thing for me to say…
Chorus:
DD/F#GA
What I meant to say was I love you
DD/F#GA
What’s been killing me is I hurt you
BmBm/AG
What I didn’t do was hold you
ADF#mGA
When I saw the teardrops fall
DD/F#GA
What I should have said was I’m sorry
DD/F#GA
What I should have said was forgive me
BmBm/A
What I meant to say was
GADD/F#GABmBm/AGA
What I didn’t say at all
Last night I had a dream
You were really walking out on me
I woke up scared to death
Please forget about the things I said…
