[Chorus]
AI never told you that I loved you.
F#mI never told you that I cared.
Those words were spinning D'round me, could've used them,
but EI guess I left them hangin' Athere.
AI never told you I was leavin'.
F#mI just vanished in the air.
I left your mouth so full of Dquestions
and an Eempty rockin' Achair.
[Verse]
ANow all those dreams you dreamed of livin'
where I was building fences 'round F#mour yard.
I think I was building your Ddefences,
keeping Eothers from my Aheart.
And all those dreams became a Dnightmare
just like smoke before Amy eyes.
F#mI never told you that DI loved you
EWhy oh why couldn't AI?
[Chorus]
AI never told you that I loved you.
F#mI never told you that I cared.
Those words were spinning D'round me, could've used them,
but EI guess I left them hangin' Athere.
AI never told you I was leavin'.
F#mI just vanished in the air.
I left your mouth so full of Dquestions
and an Eempty rockin' Achair.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
AAnd as a child runs from danger...
Yeah, that's how I ran F#mfrom you
Now I'm a perfect Dstranger
I'm just Esomeone you once Aknew.
When did I ever get Dso cold,
to never shed a Atear
F#mover all the pain I Dcaused you
Eand the regretlessness I Afear?
[Final Chorus]
AI never told you that I loved you.
F#mI never told you that I cared.
Those words were spinning D'round me, could've used them,
but EI guess I left them hangin' Athere.
AI never told you I was leavin'.
F#mI just vanished in the air.
I left your mouth so full of Dquestions
and an Eempty rockin' Achair.
F#mI left your mouth so full of Dquestions
and an Eanswer I can't Ashare.

F#m

[Chorus]

I never told you that I loved you.

F#m

I never told you that I cared.

Those words were spinning 'round me, could've used them,

E A

but I guess I left them hangin' there.

I never told you I was leavin'.

F#m

I just vanished in the air.

I left your mouth so full of questions

E A

and an empty rockin' chair.

[Verse]

Now all those dreams you dreamed of livin'

F#m

where I was building fences 'round our yard.

I think I was building your defences,

E A

keeping others from my heart.

And all those dreams became a nightmare

just like smoke before my eyes.

F#m D

I never told you that I loved you

E A

Why oh why couldn't I?

[Chorus]

I never told you that I loved you.

F#m

I never told you that I cared.

Those words were spinning 'round me, could've used them,

E A

but I guess I left them hangin' there.

I never told you I was leavin'.

I just vanished in the air.

I left your mouth so full of questions

E A

and an empty rockin' chair.

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

And as a child runs from danger...

F#m

Yeah, that's how I ran from you

Now I'm a perfect stranger

E A

I'm just someone you once knew.

When did I ever get so cold,

to never shed a tear

F#m D

over all the pain I caused you

E A

and the regretlessness I fear?

[Final Chorus]

I never told you that I loved you.

F#m

I never told you that I cared.

Those words were spinning 'round me, could've used them,

E A

but I guess I left them hangin' there.

I never told you I was leavin'.

F#m

I just vanished in the air.

I left your mouth so full of questions

E A

and an empty rockin' chair.

F#m D

I left your mouth so full of questions

E A

and an answer I can't share.
