Introduction:

easy |||||
 F 
It took me by surprise When I saw you standing there
 C 
Close enough to touch Breathing the same air
         F 
You asked me how I? been??
     Am                                   G                                       F 
I guess that?when I smiled and said just fine,
               G 
Oh but baby, I was lying
 C                                           G                           Am 
What I really meant to say   Is I?dying here inside
                                                   F                                                             C 
And I miss you more each day, there?not a night I haven?cried
                                         G                                                                         Dm   Em   F 
And baby here?the truth   I?still in love with you,
                               C               F 
That?what I really meant to say
 F 
And as you walked away the echo of my words
 C 
Cut just like a knife cut so deep it hurt
 F                                               Am                     G                                         F 
I held back the tears held onto my pride and watched you go
                   G 
I wonder if you? ever know
CHORUS 1:   {Slight changes}
 C                                           G                           Am 
What I really meant to say   Is I?dying here inside
                                                   F                                                             C 
And I miss you more each day, there?not a night I haven?cried
                                         G                                                                         Dm   F 
And baby here?the truth   I?still in love with you,
 C                                           G                           Am 
What I really meant to say   Is I?dying here inside
                                                   F                                                             C 
And I miss you more each day, there?not a night I haven?cried
                                         G                                                                         Dm   Em   F 
And baby here?the truth   I?still in love with you,
                               C               F 
That?what I really meant to say
