[Intro]
  B    F#    G#m    F#x2
[Verse 1]
  BIn a bF#ook, in a box, in the cG#mlosetF#  
  BIn a lF#ine in a song I oG#mnce heardF#  B  
In a C#mmoment on a frBont porch late one JuF#ne
In a bC#mreath inside a whiBsper, beneath the mF#oon
[Verse 2]
  BThere it F#was at the tip of my G#mfingersF#  
  BThere it F#was on the tip of mG#my tongueF#  B  
There you C#mwere and I had nBever been that faF#r
There it C#mwas; the whole world wrBapped inside my aArms
And I let it all Eslip awF#ay
[Chorus]
BWhat do I do now thAat you're gone
No Eback up plan, no second chance
And G#mno one else to blF#ame
BAll I can hear in the sAilence that remaEins
Are the F#words I couldn't say
[Interlude]
B  F#  G#m  F#
[Verse 3]
  BThere's a F#rain that'll never stop G#mfallin'F#  
  BThere's a wF#all that I tried to tG#make downF#  B  
What I sC#mhould have said just wBouldn't pass my F#lips
So C#mI held back and nBow we've come to tAhis
And it's Etoo late nF#ow
[Chorus]
BWhat do I do now thAat you're gone
No Eback up plan, no second chance
And G#mno one else to blF#ame
BAll I can hear in the sAilence that remaEins
Are the F#words I couldn't say
[Instrumental]
B  A  G#m  A
B  A  G#m  A B
I should have C#mfound a way to to tBell you how I fAelt
Now the only one I'm Etelling is myF#self
[Chorus]
BWhat do I do now thAat you're gone
No Eback up plan, no second chance
And G#mno one else to F#blame
BAll I can hear in the sAilence that remaEins (silence that remains)
Are the F#words I couldn't say
B(What do I do       now tA/C#hat you're gone)
             What do I do               What do I say
(No Eback up plan, no second chance) And G#mno one else to blF#ame
BAll I can hear in the sAilence that remaEins
Are the F#words I couldn't say

[Intro]

B F# G#m F#

[Verse 1]

B F# G#m F#

In a book, in a box, in the closet

B F# G#m F# B

In a line in a song I once heard

C#m B F#

In a moment on a front porch late one June

C#m B F#

In a breath inside a whisper, beneath the moon

[Verse 2]

B F# G#m F#

There it was at the tip of my fingers

B F# G#m F# B

There it was on the tip of my tongue

C#m B F#

There you were and I had never been that far

C#m B A

There it was; the whole world wrapped inside my arms

E F#

And I let it all slip away

[Chorus]

B A

What do I do now that you're gone

No back up plan, no second chance

G#m F#

And no one else to blame

B A E

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

[Interlude]

B F# G#m F#

[Verse 3]

B F# G#m F#

There's a rain that'll never stop fallin'

B F# G#m F# B

There's a wall that I tried to take down

C#m B F#

What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips

C#m B A

So I held back and now we've come to this

E F#

And it's too late now

[Chorus]

B A

What do I do now that you're gone

No back up plan, no second chance

G#m F#

And no one else to blame

B A E

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

[Instrumental]

B A G#m A

B A G#m A B

C#m B A

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

E F#

Now the only one I'm telling is myself

[Chorus]

B A

What do I do now that you're gone

No back up plan, no second chance

G#m F#

And no one else to blame

B A E

All I can hear in the silence that remains (silence that remains)

Are the words I couldn't say

B A/C#

(What do I do now that you're gone)

What do I do What do I say

E G#m F#

(No back up plan, no second chance) And no one else to blame

B A E

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

[Outro]
