What I Meant To Say

• C#m

This song is from the album "Leave This Town" by Daughtry. Seeing no one has done 
it yet, I decided to give this one a go.


**Played half-step down**


INTRO

{C#m - B - E - B}  x2


VERSE 1

C#m   B      E
I woke up today
    B          C#m        B         E
Seeing all the stars that you have thrown
    B          C#m        B         E
Wounded by the same old shots you take
    B          C#m        B         E
It's easier to kick the wind that low


CHORUS

               A                     E
And I just thought that you should know
              B            F#                A
If I could only know why you'd been letting go
                   E                 B        
Then it's not too late to say it right this time
           D
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
     A                 B
But that's not what I meant to say


{C#m - B - E - B}  x2


VERSE 2

C#m        B       E
Strong enough to say
     B              C#m       B        E
That I don't wanna take the hard road now
        B         C#m      B      E
S-S-So typical of you to walk away
          B              C#m      B         E
When your perfect little world is burning down


CHORUS

              A                     E
And I just thought that you should know
              B                F#                  A 
That I'd been holding on while you'd been letting go
              E
Can I be so bold
                  B               F#                A     
'Cause all this talking all to you's just getting old
                   E               B
Then it's not too late to say it right this time
          D
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
      A                B
But that's not what I meant to say


{C#m - B - E - B - C#m - B - F#} 


BRIDGE


Ah, 
A                       E
What I really meant to say
      B                     F#
With every little breath I take
             A                    E
I'm not the only one who makes mistakes
               D                 B     
Just think of all the ones you made


CHORUS


              A                     E
And I just thought that you should know
              B                F#                  A 
That I'd been holding on while you'd been letting go
              E
Can I be so bold
                  B               F#                A     
'Cause all this talking all to you's just getting old
                   E               B
Then it's not too late to say it right this time
          D
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
      A                B             A  E
But that's not what I meant to say
                     B   F# A
Not what I meant to say
             E     
Can I be so bold
                   B             F#                 A
'Cause all this talking all to you's just getting old
                    E               B
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
          D
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
     A                  B          C#m    
But that's not what I meant to say
