Song: I Should Have Said
By:   Bap Kennedy

[intro:]  |F  |C  |Dm7  |G  |

[verse: 1]
F                  C
 ​I was young and foolish
F                  C
  And I could not fail  
F                       C  
  I could see the big picture 
         Dm7           G   
And the devil in the detail   

[verse: 2]
F                      C 
  And I lived for the moment  
F              C  
  In a circus ring 
F                   C   
  Now we all know better  
Dm7                        G  
  Hindsight’s a wonderful thing 

[chorus:]
                      F          C    
I should have said I love you
                   F            C    
I couldn’t find a way 
                      F          C
I should have said I love you  
             Dm7  
If you were here  
                 G
That’s what I’d say 

[verse: 3]
F                C
  And I can’t remember 
F                        C   
  What we were fighting for   
F                 C 
  Maybe only the dead  
Dm7                      G  
  I have seen the end of war   

[chorus:]
                      F         C
I should have said I love you  
                   F         C  
I couldn’t find a way 
                      F        C
I should have said I love you  
            Dm7  
If you were here  
             G  
That’s what I’d say

[solo: guitar]  over verse
       
[chorus:]
                      F         C
I should have said I love you  
                   F         C  
I couldn’t find a way 
                      F       C
I should have said I love you  
            Dm7  
If you were here  
             G  
That’s what I’d say

[chorus:]
                      F         C
I should have said I love you  
                   F         C  
I couldn’t find a way 
                      F        C
I should have said I love you  
            Dm7  
If you were here  
             G  
That’s what I’d say
