Verse 1:
I didn't cry 
I just stood and watched her say goodbye  
She closed the do-or
And said "I don't want to see you anymore"
Chorus:
Things I should have said to her
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
Things I should have said to her
Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way" 
Verse 2:
Was it that she
Just couldn't understand a man like me
Was I to blame
Did I leave too many things unexplained?

repeat chorus

Bridge:
Why didn't I try telling her
She was all I had
Why didn't I try telling her
Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad
G [N.C.] F Bb G [N.C.] Bb G

[repeat verse 1 w/acoustic guitar and percussion only; omit all F and C chords]

repeat intro

Coda:
Things I should have said to her [repeat to fade]
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
