What I’d say (US & CAN Country 1, 1988)

D
1. Talkin' to the mirror,
whispering your name
G D
just like you were here, you'd think I was insane.
D G
I hold these
conversations in the silence of my room,
Bm G A
D
rehearsing all the things I'd say, should I run into you.
G
Bm A
G
How's
it going, might be what I'd say,
G
Em A A7
you broke my heart, you know or it looks like rain today.
- G Bm A
G
Or maybe
God, I've missed you since you
went away,
G - Bm A D
“You're
lookin' well”,
or “Go to hell” might be what I'd say.

2. There's times I've been so
angry,
I could put
my fist right through the wall
G
D
And then
there's times, I've come so close to givin' you a
call.
D G
I love you
and I hate you, all at the same time
Bm G
A D
I pray that
you'll come back to me before I lose my mind. + CHORUS
G Bm

Guess you will have to wait until that day to find
out what I'd say.
