Chord/Tab song: What You Didn't Say

WHAT YOU DIDN'T SAY (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

-------------------------------------------

(Actually in Bb; capo 3)
(Each chord is one measure)
(Some of the C's might be C(9)'s, among other variations...)

[Gmaj7](intro)[G6][Gmaj7][G6][C][C][Gmaj7][G6]

I can [Gmaj7]read your eyes[G6] just like a book
[Gmaj7] You tell me different, but I [G6]know that look
And [C]I don't have to guess[C] what's between the lines[Gmaj7][G6]

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] So why do I f[C]eel confused
[D] Why do I f[C]eel so used
Like a [C]worn-out thought[C] you threw a[Am]way
It [D]wasn't what you said, it's what you [Gmaj7] [G6] didn't s[Gmaj7]ay[G6]

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] So look at me o[C]ne last time
[D] With eyes that still [G]know how to shine
[Em] Hold me like you [C]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
