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
