Chords

[Intro] G G/F# C G G/F# C [Verse 1]
        G        G/F#           C
Well, I know your life has been hard

  G              G/F#       C
I see it in your eyes and I feel it in your heart

          G         G/F#        C
When your eyes move down to the floor

         G             G/F#            C
And your mouth changes shape, and your voice sounds sore
[Verse 2]
      G       G/F#         C
I can hold you close in my arms

    G       G/F#         C
And tell you that you're special

             G        G/F#       C
And that you treasure such great charms

             G      G/F#    C
And that you always keep my heart full

        G      G/F#       C
But I'm hardly speaking a word

    G      G/F#       C
I'm hardly speaking a word

      G          G/F#             C
And I know these things should be heard

        G      G/F#       C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
[Verse 3]
D                 C
And your struggle never changes me

D                     C
I'll never be able to see the things you see

D                     C
They say that you see things differently

D                                   C
Just because it's different doesn't mean it can't be free

        G      G/F#       C
But I'm hardly speaking a word

    G      G/F#       C
I'm hardly speaking a word
[Verse 4]
     G       G/F#         C
So I wonder, what do they know

G         G/F#       C
Maybe the problem is me not letting go

     G                G/F#         C
Of a little boy who's smarter than me

    G         G/F#      C
Who can't sit still and sees things differently
[Verse 5]
D                    C
And I'm yelling when I should be whispering

D                C
I'm pushing when I should be carrying

D                      C
And I don't understand anything I've heard

D                     C
I should be yelling I love you

                          G     G/F#  C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
[Instrumental] G G/F# C [Verse 6]
     G       G/F#      C
So I wonder, what do I know

G         G/F#       C
Maybe the problem is me not letting go

     G                G/F#         C
Of a little boy who's smarter than me

    G         G/F#      C
Who can't sit still and sees things differently
[Verse 7]
D                    C
And I'm yelling when I should be whispering

D                C
I'm pushing when I should be carrying

D                      C
And I don't understand anything I've heard

D                     C
I should be yelling I love you

D                     C
I should be yelling I love you

D                     C
I should be yelling I love you

                         G     G/F#  C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
[Outro] G G/F# C
