Strum
D-DU-UDU
Please  excuse me, I'm not thinking clear.
 It must just be stress.  But I likely shouldn't be here,
I'm  such a mess.
I  never really ever know what to say
 When all  of my emotions get in the way
I'm  just trying to get us on the same page
I  always get it better right afterward
 When all  the wrong impressions are said and heard
How  come I can never get the right words,  I need to
 convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
 Wish I could explain  the things that I have to work out
I  don't feel right
What  has come over me, I'm about
To  lose my mind
I  never really ever know what to say
 When all  of my emotions get in the way
I'm  just trying to get us on the same page
I  always get it better right afterward
 When all  the wrong impressions are said and heard
How  come I can never get the right words,  I need to
 convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
 Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain
Can  I let  the trees  do the  talking
Can  I let  the ground  do  the walking
Can  I let the sky  fill what's missing
 Can I let my mouth  do the listening...
 the listening...
I  never really ever know what to say
 When all  of my emotions get in the way
I'm  just trying to get us on the same page
I  always get it better right afterward
 When all  the wrong impressions are said and heard
How  come I can never get the right words,  I need to
 convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
 Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain
 What I mean to say
