NOTE: Capo 3 for the studio version https://youtu.be/zYBoNV-OW84 [Verse]
C                                  Am   
Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear

                C                                Am
It must just be stress but I likely shouldn't be here

F
I'm such a mess
[Chorus]
  C
I never really ever know what to say

     Em
When all of my emotions get in the way

    Am                                    F
And 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, I need to 

   C            Em          Am   F
convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
[Verse]
               C                                    Am
Wish I could explain the things that I have to work out

F
I don't feel right

C                           Am
What has come over me, I'm about

F
To lose my mind
[Chorus]
  C
I never really ever know what to say

     Em
When all of my emotions get in the way

    Am                                    F
And 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, I need to 

   C            Em          Am   F
convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

               C              Em          Am   F
Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain    
[Bridge]
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 what's missing

G              Dm                  F      C
  Can I let my mouth do the listening... 

              G      F
the listening...
[Chorus]
  C
I never really ever know what to say

     Em
When all of my emotions get in the way

    Am                                    F   
And 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, I need to 

   C            Em          Am   F
convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

               C              Em          Am   F
Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain  

               C   Em   Am   F  
What I mean to say
