Meat Loaf - Did I Say That?
A E
So this is what it feels like
Bm
To be the one left behind
D
To give it all you've got, then find
Bm A
You've already changed your mind
E
And this is what it sounds like
Bm
Crying on the bed that we both made
D
Waiting for a sign that you just can't give me
E D
Any kind of sign
A
I don't want to be here wide-awake
G
Clinging to a love that can't be saved
E
And hanging off the edge of every word that you say
Chorus:
D E A
And so I asked myself, "Do I love you so much
D E A
That I'm willing to let you go?"
G
And at the tip of my tongue the answer was "Yes"
E A
But, at the bottom of my heart I'm wondering, did I say that?
E F#m D
Oh no, no, did I say that? Oh
A E
Sometimes you know I overreact
F#m Bm
And what I say is not a matter of fact
D E A D A D A D A
And I wish that I could take it all back
N.C. G D A
And you know I'd drag myself through fire at your side
G D A
And you know the gates of heaven are surely open wide
E
And I need some sympathy here
D A
And I need someone to call my own
E
I'm standing in the light of my mistakes
D A
And begging you, come home
G D A
And I know you need some time to run and hide
G F#m E
But the truth is hard to swallow when you're choking on your pride
