   So many  words
 
   Are buzzing  'round my head
   So many  words
 
   Are still  waiting to be said
   I keep  a-tryin'  to tell you I'm  sorry
   I keep  a-tryin' but my  mouth gets  numb
   I keep  a-tryin'  to tell you I'm  sorry
   It's on the tip of  my tongue
   It's on  the tip of  my tongue
   It's on  the tip of  my
   It's on  the tip of my  tongue
   But  the words they don't come
  Each time you see me
  You must be thinking, "here comes a bad scene"
  But if you could just be me
  Then you'd know what I mean
  When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry
  When I keep hoping it's not over and done
  When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry
  It's on the tip of my tongue
   What is it you want me to do
   Do I have to come out and spell it for you
 
 
   It must  hurt you too, going on this way
   Wanting to hear words  that I just can't  say
 -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
