Dm Am G Fmaj7


[Verse 1]
Dm                             G
Stepped out, cool dirt under feet
         C
And the fog in the air
                                  F
And the crack of the snare bittersweet
Dm                        G
Loud sounds were such a relief
         C
'Cause they crowded our thoughts
                                F
And allowed us to not have to speak


[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm
But the girls everywhere

With the jewels in their hair
        G
Weren't dressed for the cold

Like a part of the show
        C
Every step was a pose
                                F
Was a scene for a lens to behold
   Dm
As we pushed through the crowd

With the drums getting loud
        G
You were moving ahead

Where I always had lead
        C
So I reached for your hand

Because I was afraid I was
F
Losing my way again


[Chorus]
Dm                   Am
Didn't know what I wanted before
G                 C
Didn't think I could say it forever nevermore
Dm                    Am           G        C
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Dm                   Am
Didn't know what I wanted before
G                 C
Wasn't sure I could say it forever nevermore
Dm                    Am           G        C
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do


[Verse 2]
Dm                          G
Moved on to a different stage
        C
And the daylight was fading
                             F
With everyone waiting engaged
Dm                          G
Their cheers, a steady refrain
         C
And the crowd wouldn't part
                                 F
Even thought it was starting to rain


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
And when the spots came on

The first notes of the song
G
Filled them up like a rush

We were caught in the crush
C
And I tried to forget
                    F
But was filled with remorse and regret
Dm
So I tried to move on

From the thought I was wrong
G
When I slipped on the grass

And around me they passed
C
And it suddenly dawned on me

I could see you still
                    F
But you were already gone


[Chorus]
Dm                   Am
Didn't know what I wanted before
G                 C
Didn't think I could say it forever nevermore
Dm                    Am           G        C
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Dm                   Am
Didn't know what I wanted before
G                 C
Wasn't sure I could say it forever nevermore
Dm                    Am           G        C
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do


[Bridge]
Fmaj7          G
Ooh, there was something that I couldn't say
             C                 F
'Cause I was so afraid it would push you away
Fmaj7           G
Ooh, but when I never said what I couldn't say
         C
It went and pushed you away
F
It pushed you away


[Chorus]
Dm                   Am
Didn't know what I wanted before
G                    C
Didn't know what I wanted before
Dm                   Am
Didn't know what I wanted before
G                    C
Wasn't sure I could say it forever nevermore
Dm                  Am
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
G                   C
Didn't know what I wanted before
Dm                   Am
Didn't think I could say it forever nevermore
G                    C
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Dm                   Am
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
G
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
