Written by Shel Silverstein
First Verse G C G I didn't say, "Don't do it babe" when she packed up to go G D G I didn't say "Come back here honey and try with me once more" G C And when she asked me if I loved her, I just turned away C D C G She's gone and now I'm hearing all the things I didn't saySecond Verse G C G I didn't take her in my arms and kiss away her tears G D G I didn't say "My life don't mean a thing if you ain't here" G C I thought of all the many games I'd be free to play C D But all I do is listen to the things I didn't sayD C I didn't say "I'm sorry babe, 'cause half the fault was mine" D C G I didn't say "We'll work it out, 'cause all we need is love and faith and time" G C I said "If that's the way you want it, I won't stand in your way" C D G She's gone and now I'm hearing all the things I didn't sayOutro G D And now I guess she'll never hear the things I didn't say...D C G I didn't say "Take off your coat, I'll make some coffee and we'll talk" D C G I didn't say "The motorway, is such a long and lonely endless walk" G C I said "Goodbye, good luck and God bless you", then she slipped away C D G And left me here to live with all the things I didn't say
