Things I Wish I'd Said
Rodney Crowell

C                                             F
You lay there fighting for each breath while, angels hovered round your bed
                    C               Am                  G 
With open arms like God’s own smile they led you to the light
C                              F  
What a battle you have won and now your journey has begun
                  C           G                  C  
To the land where spirits fly and your soul will never die

CHORUS
F              C             F              C
Travel lightly in my heart - You and I will never part
F               C            G                   C
Far beyond this world we see there’s a place for you and me
Am             G           F                  C   
And I thank my lucky stars we had a chance to heal our scars
F                   C       Am   G             C 
Now I don’t have to hang my head over things I wish I’d said

BREAK ON CHORUS CHORDS:
Am    G    F    C    F    C    Am    G    C

C                            F 
So here am I your only son - I’m thinking back on work we’ve done
                    C             Am             G
You were strong and I was young - Man we had our fights
C                             F
And everything I felt for you has been turned to something new
                   C            G             C
And this is love I feel today - It will never go away

REPEAT CHORUS

Am              G               F  
I don’t have to hide my tears - I don’t have to drown my fears
F                   C       Am   G             C 
And I don’t have to hang my head over things I wish I’d said
F                  C             G             C   
No I don’t have to live in dread over things I wish I’d said
