[Intro]
C C/B Am C/B C C/B Am C/B
Why why
( C C/B Am C/B )
( C C/B Am G )
C C/B Am
How many times do I have to try to tell you
F G C C/B Am F G
That I'm sorry for the things I've done, ooh
C C/B
But when I start to try to tell you, that's when you have to tell me
Am F G C C/B Am F G
Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun
D F#m G A D7+/B
I tell myself too many times why dont you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
D F#m G A D7+/B
Thats why it hurts so bad to hear the words that keep on falling from your mouth
Am/D F7+
Fallin from your mouth, fallin from your mouth, tell me
[Refrão]
C C/B Am F G C Am F G
Why why
C C/B Am
I may be bad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind
F G C C/B Am F G
But I can still read what you're thinking, ooh
C C/B Am
And I've heard it said too many times that you'd better off besides
F G C C/B Am F G
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
D F#m G A D7+/B
Let's go down to the water's edge and we can cast away those doubts
D F#m G D7+/B
Some things are better left unsaid but they still turn me inside out,
Am/D F7+
Turn me inside out, turn me inside out, tell me
[Refrão]
C C/B Am F G C Am F G
Why why
C C/B
This is the book I never read; these are the words I never said
Am F G
This is the path I'll never tread; these are the dreams I'll dream instead
C C/B
This is the joy that's seldom spread; these are the tears, the tears we shed
Am F G
This is the fear, this is the dread; these are the contents of my head
C C/B
And these are the years that we have spent, and this is what they represent
Am F G
And this is how I feel; do you know how I feel?
C C/B Am F G C
'Cause I don't think you know, I don't think you don't know what I feel
C/B Am F G
I don't think you know what I feel
C
You don't know what I feel
