"Nothing More to Say" by William Thompson
Intro D x 2
Verse one
D G D
When you reach for me in the morning, darling, I’ll be gone.
D G D
I never promised you I’d would stay.
D G D
Didn’t want to see those tears streaming down your face.
Bm F#m A
When there’s were no more words left to say…
G Bm A
There was nothing more to say.
Verse two
D G D
Played house and made believe our love was real
D G D
It may have been for you, but baby, that’s not how I feel
D G D
Wasn’t fair to you to let it go on that way.
Bm F#m A
And there were no more words left to say…
G Bm A
There was nothing more to say.
Verse three
D G D
You started talkin’ to me about our future, I’d pretend to listen.
D G D
In my mind I was a convict planning escape from a prison.
D G D
You were kind enough to take me in as a stray
Bm F#m A
But there were no more words left to say
G Bm A
There was nothing more to say.
Chorus
Em C A
Tell all your friends I was a coward
Em C A
That I’ll never find a woman as good as you
Em C A
But like a bud that never flowered.
Bm F#m A
My love for you, just never grew.
G Bm A
Leaving was the only decent thing to do.
Verse four
D G D
Just remember the laughs we had while it lasted.
D G D
Bitterness and anger won’t let you get past it.
D G D
We’d be living a lie, if I had stayed
Bm F#m A
And there were no more words left to say
G Bm A
There was nothing more to say.

Wicked Killer Good!! Love all of it, including the vocals carrying the poignant lyrics!!! Spec-tacular!!!
Hi Bill, nice work indeed. Its a real unique voice singing. that makes music great and true
Beautifully crafted song, brilliant in it's simplicity. I've never been able to write like that. Great clean sounding mix. Great job.
Had the pleasure of hearing this on Mixstream radio. A bit behind on commenting.
Bill, you have a wonderful, rather magical way of creating precious songs like this.
Your guitar + lyric lead the way, and that voice takes it home. ((bravo)) *****
Thanks to everyone for the kind comments! I appreciate it and glad I can create something people may relate to.
What a beautiful song. Tugs at the heartstrings. I have a soft spot for a heartbreak tune

You da man, TV. What a fine voice. Great tune, too, good sir.
Another excellent but sad story about life's ups and downs. The acoustic's tone sounds real good and your vocal performance goes without saying....well done Bill!
Nice addition to your catalog of most excellent tunes about love, life and the world. Cheers!!
