Tom : C#m
A E A E A
Yeah
[Verse 1]
A
I'm looking for the right words to say to you
E
Cause I know you've heard them a time or two
A
I can't feel everybody but you
C#m
When you're in my eyes you can see straight through
A
Last night I dreamt we never change
E
When the roof we built settled up in flames
A
As I touched but then chased you were too far to save
C#m
Now I'm lost between dreams and being awake
[Chorus]
E C#m
Cause I, I couldn't get it right
F#m
No matter what I've tried to say
E B
My words just gave me away
C#m E C#m
Yeah and you, you don't what to do
F#m A B
I'll take a dream go to release my mind and sleep this away
[Verse 2]
A
But can we just hit the light, the light of day
E
Open up our eyes, see beyond the fray
A
I tried to talk, it was never enough
C#m
Did my breath fall short or
did I say too much
A
I've heard the voice, I captured the sound
B
Made a song not the same now that you're not around
A
And I, I've tried to change
E
You say that I've come so far but remain the same
[Chorus]
E C#m
Cause I, I couldn't get it right
