C
How many times do I have to try to tell you? 

   Am          F                       C
That I’m sorry for the things I’ve done

C
But when I start to try to tell you

C
That’s when you have to tell me

Falling from your mouth

I may be mad 
I may be glad
                 Am       F 
I may be viciously unkind

But I still can read what you are thinking
What you are thinking What you thinking
C
I’ve heard it said too many times
You be better off

Let’s go down to Waters Edge

D              Bm
Some things are better left unsaid

They still turn me inside out

F
Turn me inside out

Dm
Turn me inside out
[Chorus]
 D        C  Em  Am F
Tell me why 
You tell me [Bridge]
C 
This is a book I never read

Em 
The words I never said

Am    
The path I’ll never tread

F
The dreams I’ll dream instead

C
The drink I step and spilled

Em
Tears that we shed

Am
The fear, Madrid 

F
The conscious inside my head

C
These are the years we spent

Em
This is what they represenT

Am
This is how I feel

F
Do you even know I feel?

C
Cause if you know

Em
I don’t think you know

Am
How can you know?

F
You never ask me 
[Chorus]
   C  Em  Am F
Why 

  C Em Am F
Why?
[Outro] C Em Am F C
