Verse 1                                                     
C              C/B                 Am
How many times do I have to try to tell you
F                      C                 C/B  Am  F
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              C       C/B  Am  F  
Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun
D                      D/C#                          Bm                     G
I tell myself too many times why dont you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
D                            D/C#                        Bm                G
Thats why it hurts so bad to hear the words that keep on falling from your mouth
C                       Am
Fallin from your mouth, fallin from your mouth, tell me

Chorus
C  C/B  Am  F  C  C/B  Am  F
Why            why

Verse 2

I may be bad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind

But I can still read what you're thinking, ooh

And I've heard it said too many times that you'd better off besides

Why can't you see this boat is sinking

Let's go down to the water's edge and we can cast away those doubts

Some things are better left unsaid but they still turn me inside out, tell me

Chorus
C  C/B  Am  F  C  C/B  Am  F
Why            why

End
C                              C/B
This is the book I never read; these are the words I never said
Am                                 F
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
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
And this is how I feel; do you know how I feel?
C                              C/B     Am                          F    C  
'Cause I don't think you know, I don't think you don't know what I feel
C/B                           Am   F
I don't think you know what I feel
C
you don't know what I feel
