Another great non-hit, released in the fall of '66 to underwhelming
response.  Note that Rob Grill rerecorded the lead vocal track for the
_Let's Live For Today_ LP.

Verse 1:

	Em (022000@1)        Am (x02210@1)   So many words
	D (xx0232@1)    /F#                G (320003@1)   Are buzzing 'round my head
	Em (022000@1)        Am (x02210@1)   So many words
	D (xx0232@1)           /F#           G (320003@1)   Are still waiting to be said

	E (022100@1)       A (x02220@1)       E (022100@1)          A (x02220@1)I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
	E (022100@1)       A (x02220@1)             E (022100@1)       A (x02220@1)I keep a-tryin'  but my mouth gets numb
	E (022100@1)       A (x02220@1)       E (022100@1)          A (x02220@1)I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
	E (022100@1)                       G# (xx1114@1)  It's on the tip of my tongue

Chorus:

	D# (x43121@3)           G# (xx1114@1)       C#m (x13321@4)   It's on the tip of my tongue [1, 2, 3: baby]
	D# (x43121@3)           G# (xx1114@1)       C#m (x13321@4)   It's on the tip of my [1, 4: tongue]  [2, 3: T- t- t- ah!]
	D# (x43121@3)           G# (xx1114@1)        A (x02220@1)   It's on the tip of my tongue
	                         C#m (x13321@4)  B (x2444x@1)But the words they don't come

Verse 2:

	Each time you see me
	You must be thinking, "here comes abad (x02210@1)scene"
	But if you could just be me
	Then you'd know what I mean

	When I keep trying  to tell you I'm sorry
	When I keep hoping it's not over and done [45: yeah  LP: no!]
	When I keep trying  to tell you I'm sorry
	It's on the tip of my tongue

Bridge:

	C (x32010@1)	   What is it you want me to do
	Am (x02210@1)   Do I have to come out and spell it for you
	    Bm (x24432@1)         Bb+  Bm7/A (x00202@1)      E/G# (143121@4)It must hurt you too, going on this way
	 A (x02220@1)                       B (x2444x@1)           E (022100@1)Wanting to hear words that I just can't say
