Words I Couldnt Say Chords & Tabs
I am 100% confident in this tab that it is the correct one. Couldn't find this tab
anywhere so I just figured it out myself. Also, I know that this song is originally done by
Rascal Flatts. If you want the original Rascal Flatts version, just move your capo down one.

And I let it all slip away
CHORUS
G F
What do I do now that you're gone
C
No back up plan no second chance
Em D
And no one else to blame
G F C
All I can hear in the silence that remains
D
Are the words I couldn't say
VERSE 2
There's a rain that'll never stop fallin'
There's a wall that I tried to take down
What I should've said just wouldn't pass my lips
So I held back and now we've come to this
And it's too late now
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Am G F
I should've found a way to tell you how I felt
Am F
Now the only one I'm tellin' is myself
CHORUS
