Capo on the 6th
[Verse 1]
In Ga book, in a box, in the cCadd9loset
GIn a line, in a song I once hCadd9eard 
AmIn a moment on a front porGch late one DJune 
AmIn a breath inside a whispGer beneath Dthe moon
GThere it was at the tips of my fingers Cadd9  
GThere it was on the tip of my tongue Cadd9  
AmThere you were and I had Gnever been tDhat far 
AmThere it was the whole worGld wrapped inside Dmy arms 
AmAnd I let Cit all Dslip away 
[Chorus]
GWhat do I do now tCadd9hat you're gone 
CNo back up plan, no second chance 
EmAnd no one else to blamDe 
GAll I can hear Cadd9in the silence thaCt remains 
DAre the words I cCouldn't say G  
[Verse 2]
There's a rain that will never stop fallin' 
There's a wall that I tried to take down 
What I should have 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]
GWhat do I do now tCadd9hat you're gone 
CNo back up plan, no second chance 
EmAnd no one else to blamDe 
GAll I can hear Cadd9in the silence thaCt remains 
DAre the words I cCouldn't say G  
[Bridge]
AmI should have found a way to tGell you how I felt F  
AmNow the one I'm telling is myself F  
[Chorus] x3
GWhat do I do now tCadd9hat you're gone 
CNo back up plan, no second chance 
EmAnd no one else to blamDe 
GAll I can hear Cadd9in the silence thaCt remains 
DAre the words I cCouldn't say G

Cadd9

Capo on the 6th

[Verse 1]

G Cadd9

In a book, in a box, in the closet

G Cadd9

In a line, in a song I once heard

Am G D

In a moment on a front porch late one June

Am G D

In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon

G Cadd9

There it was at the tips of my fingers

G Cadd9

There it was on the tip of my tongue

Am G D

There you were and I had never been that far

Am G D

There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms

Am C D

And I let it all slip away

[Chorus]

G Cadd9

What do I do now that you're gone

No back up plan, no second chance

Em D

And no one else to blame

G Cadd9 C

All I can hear in the silence that remains

D C G

Are the words I couldn't say

[Verse 2]

There's a rain that will never stop fallin'

There's a wall that I tried to take down

What I should have 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]

G Cadd9

What do I do now that you're gone

No back up plan, no second chance

Em D

And no one else to blame

G Cadd9 C

All I can hear in the silence that remains

D C G

Are the words I couldn't say

[Bridge]

Am G F

I should have found a way to tell you how I felt

Am F

Now the one I'm telling is myself

[Chorus] x3

G Cadd9

What do I do now that you're gone

No back up plan, no second chance

Em D

And no one else to blame

G Cadd9 C

All I can hear in the silence that remains

D C G

Are the words I couldn't say
