Meat Loaf - Couldn't Have Said It Better
CHORUS:
                            D   A- G  
And you said nothing at all
                                           D   A- G  
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
                                      D   A- G  
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
                                   D   A- G  
Just love me like you love nobody else
OooooohD  Dsus2  D  G  D  Dsus2  G  
DOh, little ladyG  
I think there's something on your DmindG  
DI've known you long enough to Gknow
The words are not that hard to DfindG  
And the Dharder you try, and the Glonger you go
Well, there's Dnothing but love in those Geyes anymore
You Dknow what to say, but you Gnever know how
You can Dkeep your mouth shut
'cause it Gdoesn't really matter right Anow
I will guide you Gall the way
ABecause I know exactly Cwhat you're trying to Dsay
   D     D     G    GYou have the right 
   D     D     A    ATo remain silent
   D     D     G    GI'll get the lights
   D     D     A    AYou get that smile
CHORUS:
                           D   A- G  
And you say nothing at all
                                          D   A- G  
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
                                       D   A- G  
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
                                      D   A- G  
Just love me like you love nobody else
        D  Dsus2  D    G         D  Dsus2   G
DI see the angelsG  
They're standing right outside your Ddoor
They're watching over meG  
They're watching over us Dall
You can send them home toGnight 
Because you won't need them anyDmore
In your arms I think I've Gfound 
The safest place to fall
When I Dstep in the door and I stare at your face
And there Gso many things that I wish I could say
Well, I Dstruggle with words, but they put up a fight
You can Gkeep your mouth shut
'Cause it doesn't really matter toAnight
I will guide you Gall the way toAnight
Because I know exactly Cwhat you're trying to Dsay
   D     D     G    GYou have the right 
   D     D     A    ATo remain silent
   D     D     G    GI'll get the lights
   D     D     A    AYou get that smile
CHORUS:
