Bm
Maybe I got it wrong
                   F#m
How did I turn you off?
                            E
Cause now you're out of my reach
Bm
Maybe I played too safe
                F#m
How did I pull away?
                     E
Am I too blinded to see?

PRE-Chorus
         Bm
I'd been hoping you'd catch up somehow
         F#m           E
Like I'm way too far ahead
       Bm
Every time I think I'm gaining ground
       F#m          E
I'm misunderstood again

Chorus:
                   D
I thought that I said it
         F#m                 E
In the things that I didn't say
                    D
I thought that you felt it
        F#m                  E
In the games that I didn't play
            D
So let the record show, I never let you go
           F#m               E
Can we get back on track, oh-oh
                  D
I thought that I said it
         F#m                 E
In the things that I didn't say
         D
Oo-oo-oo-oo (hey hey), oo-oo-oo-oo (hey hey)
         F#m                       E
Oo-oo-oo-oo, in the things that I didn't say
         D
Oo-oo-oo-oo (hey hey), oo-oo-oo-oo (hey hey)
         F#m                       E
Oo-oo-oo-oo, in the things that I didn't say

What if I shout it out?
What if I take a vow?
Wouldn't you think it's too much?
What ya want from me?
Thought it was going deep
Guess it was never enough

I've been hoping you'd catch up somehow
Like I'm way too far ahead
Every time I think I'm gaining ground
I'm misunderstood again

Chorus

D E F#m            C#m7
       I thought I told you
          D
(in the things, in the things)
I thought I told you
E       F#m
(in the things, in the things)
            C#m7
I thought I told you

Chorus
