What I’d Say (Capo 2nd Fret)

Intro: D, Bm, G, D    2x

D
Talkin’ to the mirror, whispering you name
     G                                            D
It’s just like you were here, you’d think I was insane
D                                               G
I hold these conversations in the silence of my room
Bm                 G                     A          D
Rehearsing all the things I’d say should I run into you

Chorus:

G        Bm     A                 G
How’s it goin’, might be what I’d say
G        D/F#     Em
Well you broke my heart you know
A
Or it looks like rain today
G        Bm
God I’ve missed you
A              G
Since you went away
G
You’re lookin’ well
Bm
Or go to hell
A                 D
Might be what I’d say

There’s time I’ve been so angry
I could put my fist right through the wall
And then there’s times I’ve come so close
To givin’ you a call
I love you and I hate you
All at the same time
Then I pray you’ll come back to me
Before I lose my mind

CHORUS

Interlude: G, Bm, A, G, G, D/F#, Em, A

          G        Bm
Or maybe, God I’ve missed you
A              G
Since you went away
G
You’re lookin’ well
Bm
Or go to hell
A                 D
Might be what I’d say

Ending: D, Bm, G, D    2x
