[Intro]
Am

                      C
Something I forgot to say
Am                     C
Thought you knew it anyway
         Dm
But I'll spell it out for you
F    C       Dm
If I need to tell you
F     C      Am
If it really helps you

I'll do anything to please
Let me set your mind at ease
But I hope you understand
Though it was unspoken  (I hope you understand)
I left myself wide open
Am                             C
The facts were always there to see

E     
I don't want to mystify you
Am
Don't even know how
E
I don't want to terify you
F                               G
Don't you think you should have known by now?

Something I forgot to say
If I thought it mattered,
I would have set you straight
Though I guess I should have known
You might have some questions (I guess I should have known)
But I had the false impression
It was written on my face

[musical bit]
Am   C   (twice)

I don't want to criticise you
That isn't my way
But if I antagonise you
It must be something I forgot to say

We're as close as night and day
You see black and white
While I, I see shades of grey
But I'll spell it out for you
If it really helps you (I'll spell it out for you)
If I need to tell you

Something I forgot to say
Something I forgot to say
I forgot to say  (x6)
