[ G ]
[ Verse ]
Em A
Stepped out, cool dirt under feet
D
And the fog in the air
G
And the crack of the snare bittersweet
Loud sounds were such a relief
Cause they crowded our thoughts
And allowed us to not have to speak
Em7
But the girls everywhere
With the jewels in their hair
A
Weren't dressed for the cold
Like a part of the show
D
Every step was a pose
G
Was a scene for a lens to behold
As we pushed through the crowd
With the drums getting loud
You were moving ahead
Where I always had lead
So I reached for your hand
Because I was afraid I was
Losing my way again
[ Chorus ]
Em Bm
Didn't know what I wanted before
A D Em
Didn't think I could say it forever nevermore
Em Bm A D/F#
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted before
Wasn't sure I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
[ Verse ]
Moved on to a different stage
And the daylight was fading
With everyone waiting engaged
Their cheers a steady refrain
And the crowd wouldn't part
Even thought it was starting to rain
And when the spots came on
The first notes of the song
Filled them up like a rush
We were caught in the crush
And I tried to forget
But was filled with remorse and regret
So I tried to move on
From the thought I was wrong
When I slipped on the grass
And around me they passed
And it suddenly dawned on me
I could see you still
But you were already gone
[ Chorus ]
Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't think I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted before
Wasn't sure I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
[ Bridge ]
G A
There was something that I couldn't say
D
Cause I was so afraid
G
It would push you away
But when I never said what I couldn't say
It went and pushed you away
It pushed you away
Em Bm
Didn't know what I wanted before

Em Bm
Didn't know what I wanted before
[ A D Em ]
[ Chorus ]
Didn't know what I wanted before
Wasn't sure I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't think I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
