 I D don't go to therapy to G55 find out if A I'm a freak
 I D go and I find the one and G5 only answer A every week
 And it's D just me and all the memories to follow
 Down G5 any course that fits within a Em fifty minute hour
 And we D fathom all the mysteries, ex G5 plicit and in A herent
 When I D hit a rut, she says to G5 try the other A parent
 And she's D so kind, I think she G5 wants to tell me something,
 But she Em knows that its much better if I A get it for myself...And
 she says
  D Oooooooh, aaaaaaah, G5 What do you hear in these Em sounds? And...
  D Oooooooh, aaaaaaah, G5 What do you hear in these Em sounds?????
 I D say I hear a doubt, with the G5 voice of true be A lieving
 And the D promises to stay, and the G5 footsteps that are A leaving
 And she D says "Oh", I say G5 "What?"...she says A "Exactly",
 I say G5 "What, you think I'm angry
 Does that Em mean you think I'm angry?"
 She says D "Look, you come here every week
 With G5 jigsaw pieces A of your past
 Its D all on little soundbytes and G5 voices out of A photographs
 And that's D all yours, that's the guide, that's the map
 So tell me, G5 where does the Em arrow point to?
  A WHO INVENTED ROSES?"
 and.......
  D Oooooooh, aaaaaaah, G5 What do you hear in these Em sounds? And...
  D Oooooooh, aaaaaaah, G5 What do you hear in these Em sounds?????
 
 And G5 when I talk about therapy, I A know what people think
 That it G5 only makes you selfish and in A love with your shrink
 But D Oh how I loved G5 everybody else
 When I Em finally got to talk so A much about myself............
 And D I wake up and I G5 ask myself what A state I'm in
 And D I say well I'm lucky, cause I G5 am like A East Berlin
 I had D this wall and what I knew of the free world
 Was that G5 I could see their fireworks
 And I Em could hear their A radio
 And I D thought that if we met, I would G5 only start con A fessing
 And they'd D know that I was scared
 They'd would G5 know that I was A guessing
 But the D wall came down and G5 there they stood before me
 With their Em stumbling and their mumbling
 And their A calling out just like me...and...
  D Oooooooh, aaaaaaah, The G5 stories that Em nobody A hears...and...
  D Oooooooh, aaaaaaah, and I col G5 lect these Em sounds in my A ears...and...
  D Oooooooh, aaaaaaah, G5 that's what I hear in these Em sounds...and...
  D Oooooooh, aaaaaaah, G5 that's what I hear in these......
  Em that's what I hear in these D SOUU- G5 OUUUN Em NNNDS A yeah yeah
