Capo 1st Fret 
 
Intro:  C   F 
 
Verse 1: 
F 
It took me by surprise, when I saw you standing there 
C 
Close enough to touch, breathing the same air 
F 
You asked me how I've been 
C                             G                           Am 
I guess that's when I smiled and just said fine  
            G 
Oh, but baby, I was lying 
 
 
Chorus 1: 
C                               G                                           Am 
What I really meant to say, is that I'm dying here inside 
                                        F                                      
       C 
And I miss you more each day, there's not a night I haven't cried 
                               G                                    Am 
And baby, here's the truth...I'm still in love with you 
           F                                         C     F 
Yeah...that's what I really meant say 
 
Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1:) 
And as you walked away, the echo of my words 
Cut just like a knife, cut so deep it hurt 
I held back the tears, held onto my pride and watched you go 
I wonder if you'll ever know 
 
Chorus 2 (same chords and lyrics as chorus 1) 
 
Chorus 3 (same chords as chorus 1, alternate lyrics:) 
What I really meant to say, is I'm really not that strong 
And no matter how I try, I'm still holding on 
And here's the honest truth...I'm still in love with you 
F                                             C 
That's what I really meant to say 
F                                             C 
That's what I really meant to say 
F                                             C 
That's what I really meant to say 
 
 
Hope this works for you guys, too!  Happy picking!
