Cyndi Thomson - What I Really Meant To Say Chords

[Intro]
C  F  C  F
C  F  C  F
 
 
[Verse 1]
   F
It took me by surprise
       F
When I saw you standin' there
C
Close enough to touch
C
Breathin' the same air
    F
You asked me how I'd been
  Am                  G                    F
I guess that's when I smiled and said just fine
        G
Oh, but baby I was lyin'
 
 
[CHorus]
C                       G
 What I really meant to say
                    Am
Is I'm dyin' here inside
                         F
And I miss you more each day
                              C
There's not a night I haven't cried
                     G
And baby, here's the truth
                       Dm   C
I'm still in love with you
     F                              C     G
(And, that's what I really meant to say)
 
 
[Verse 2]
    F
And as you walked away
    F
The echo of my words
C
Cut just like a knife
C
Cut so deep it hurt
F
I held back the tears
Am            G                     F
Held on to my pride and watched you go
           G
I wonder if you'll ever know
 
 
[Chorus]
C                       G
 What I really meant to say
                    Am
Is I'm dyin' here inside
                         F
And I miss you more each day
                              C
There's not a night I haven't cried
                     G
And baby, here's the truth
                       Dm   F  C
I'm still in love with you
 
C                       G
 What I really meant to say
                       Am
Is I'm really not that strong
                F
No matter how I try
                  C
I'm still holdin' on
                      G
And here's the honest truth
                       Dm   C
I'm still in love with you
    F                              C     G
And, that's what I really meant to say
