INTRO:    C 
 
VERSE 1: 
F 
It took me by surprise When I saw you standing there 
C 
Close enough to touch Breathing the same air 
    F 
You asked me how I' been??
  Am                  G                    F 
I guess that'when I smiled and said just fine, 
       G 
Oh but baby, I was lying 
CHORUS 1: 
C                      G              Am 
What I really meant to say  Is I'dying here inside 
                         F                               C 
And I miss you more each day, there'not a night I haven'cried 
                    G                                     Dm  Em  F 
And baby here'the truth  I'still in love with you, 
(N.C.)             C        F 
That'what I really meant to say 
VERSE 2: 
F 
And as you walked away the echo of my words 
C 
Cut just like a knife cut so deep it hurt 
F                        Am           G                     F 
I held back the tears held onto my pride and watched you go 
         G 
I wonder if you' ever know 
CHORUS 1:  {Slight changes} 
C                      G              Am 
What I really meant to say  Is I'dying here inside 
                         F                               C 
And I miss you more each day, there'not a night I haven'cried 
                    G                                     Dm  F 
And baby here'the truth  I'still in love with you, 
CHORUS 2: 
C                      G              Am 
What I really meant to say  Is I'dying here inside 
                         F                               C 
And I miss you more each day, there'not a night I haven'cried 
                    G                                     Dm  Em  F 
And baby here'the truth  I'still in love with you, 
(N.C.)             C        F 
That'what I really meant to say
