The Things I Should Have Said by Lindisfarne
The Things I Should Have Said
Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
D C (6x)
[Verse 1]
D Am G C
Two by two the lovers wandered off into the night
D C G A
Leaving me alone with someone that I only knew by sight
Bm G Bm A
So we sat and watched each other through the fading firelight
Bm C Bm7
Each one waiting for the silence to be broken
[Chorus]
D Em
But the things I should have said
F#m C
That were whispering in my head
G D C D C
Would not be spoken___
[Verse 2]
D Am G C
The black gowned master glared at me with malice in his eye
D C G A
The spittle from his twisted lips ran down to his bowtie
Bm G Bm A
I was dumb before his accusations, I did not deny
Bm C Bm7
When he'd done with me, I stood outside there, shattered
[Chorus]
D Em
And the things I should have said
F#m C
That came rushing to my head
G D C D C
No longer matter_____
[Instrumental]
D C (8x)
[Verse 3]
D Am G C
Teachers from whose hallowed mouths, great pearls of wisdom fall
D C G A
To those who scrawl obscenities upon the alley walls
Bm G Bm A
The joke is on the bloke who never spoke a word at all
Bm C Bm7
But whose dreams lay unrevealed, 'til they were rotten
[Chorus]
D Em
And the things I should have said
F#m C
That I was keeping in my head
G D C D C D C
Have been forgotten__
[Outro] (## repeat and fade ##)
D C D C D C
All the things I should have said
