C                                  Am
Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear
                C
It must just be stress
C                         Am
But I likely shouldn't be here
F          C
I'm such a mess
C
I never really ever know what to say
Em
When all of my emotions get in the way
Am                                    F  
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
C
I always get it better right afterward
Em
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
Am                                 F
How come I can never get the right words?
          C               Em           Am
I need to convey-ey-ey-ey -ey-ey-ey-ey -ey
F                  C 
Wish I could explain

                               Am
The things that I have to work out

I don't feel right
C                       Am         F
What has come over me, I'm about to lose my mind

C
I never really ever know what to say
Em
When all of my emotions get in the way
Am                                    F  
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
C
I always get it better right afterward
Em
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
Am                                 F
How come I can never get the right words?
          C                Em        Am
I need to convey -ey-ey-ey -ey-ey-ey -ey
F            C                Em         Am   F    
Wish I could explain ai-ai-ai -ai-ai-ai -ain

Dm                 C
Can I let the trees do the talking?
G             Dm
Can I let the ground do the walking?
F             C
Can I let the sky fill whats missing in?
G            Dm                      F
Can I let my mouth do the listening?
C             G 
The listening

C
I never really ever know what to say
Em
When all of my emotions get in the way
Am                                    F  
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
C
I always get it better right afterward
Em
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
Am                                 F
How come I can never get the right words?
          C                Em        Am
I need to convey -ey-ey-ey -ey-ey-ey -ey
F            C                Em         Am   F    
Wish I could explain ai-ai-ai -ai-ai-ai -ain

F              C
What I mean to say
