The things I should have said   ( Rod Clements )   from: Nicely out of tune
-----------------------------

Capo on 3rd

Intro:	D, C	6 x


1.)
Two by two the lovers wandered off into the night
 D		 C		G	      C
leaving me alone with someone that I only knew by sight
 	D		C	      G		    A
so we sat and watched each other thru the fading firelight
       Bm		     C    Bm		     A
each one waiting for the silence to be broken.
	   Bm		    C		 Bm


Chorus:
But the things I should have said
	   D		      Em
that were whispering in my head, would not be spoken.
	     F#m	     C				D, C	2 x


2.)
The black-eyed master glared at me with malice in his eye
      D		        C		  G	       C
the spittle from his twisted lips ran down to his bow-tie
      D		       C	       G      	       A
I was done before his accusations I did not deny
	Bm	         C	  Bm	      A
when he done with me I stood outside there shattered. 
Bm		 C		   Bm


Chorus:
And the things I should have said
	   D		      Em
that came rushing to my head, no longer matter.
	    F#m		  C			D, C	10 x


3.)
Teachers from whose mellowed mouths great pearls of wisdom fall
      D		     C		       G		C
to those who scrawl obscenities upon the alley walls
     D			  C     G	       A
the joke is on the bloke who never spoke a word at all
     Bm		     C		     Bm		    A
but whose dreams lay unrevealed 'til they were rotten.
	     Bm		 C		         Bm


Chorus:
And the things I should have said
	   D		      Em
that I was keeping in my head, have been forgotten.
	      F#m	   C			    D, C   2 x
