Capo 1st fret
[Intro]
G A D
[Verse 1]
D
I've told you that I want you
G
I've held you in my arms
A
I've whispered in your ear
D
I don't wanna be apart
D
I wanted nights to last forever
G
But knew forever'd just be damned
A
Yeah, I know goodbye's never easy
A
Girl, believe me
D
One day you'll understand
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Why I never said I love you
A D
I never said I could
G
And it ain't that I don't want to
A D A D
Hell, even if I should
G
It's best that I don't try
A D
I'd hate to have to lie and act like this good thing won't die
G
Baby, that's why
A D G A D
I never said I loved you
[Verse 2]
D
I bet you hate me and I get it
G
Hell, most nights I hate me too
A
There ain't a streetlight in this city
D
That ain't turned on for me and you
D
And when all is said and done
G
It's probably better off this way
A
Someone somewhere's gonna catch you
D
And mean the words I couldn't say
[Chorus]
D G
Why I never said I love you
A D
I never said I could
G
And it ain't that I don't want to
A D A D
Hell, even if I should
G
It's best that I don't try
A D
I'd hate to have to lie and act like this good thing won't die
G
Baby, that's why
A G
I never said I loved you, no
[Instrumental Break]
