  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  G6  Gmaj7  G6  C  C  Gmaj7  G6

  [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
