Verse 1:

      E5          A5
         So many words
      D5      /F#5                G5
         Are buzzing 'round my head
      E5          A5
         So many words
      D5             /F#5           G5
         Are still waiting to be said

      E5         A5         E5            A5
      I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
      E5         A5               E5         A5
      I keep a-tryin'  but my mouth gets numb
      E5         A5         E5            A5
      I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
      E5                         Ab5
        It's on the tip of my tongue

Chorus:

      Eb5             Ab5         C#5
         It's on the tip of my tongue [1, 2, 3: baby]
      Eb5             Ab5         C#5
         It's on the tip of my [1, 4: tongue]  [2, 3: T- t- t- ah!]
      Eb5             Ab5          A5
         It's on the tip of my tongue
                               C#5    B5
      But the words they don't come

Verse 2:

      Each time you see me
      You must be thinking, "here comes a bad 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:

      C5 
         What is it you want me to do
      A5
         Do I have to come out and spell it for you
          B5           Bb+  B5        E5
      It must hurt you too, going on this way
       A5                         B5             E5
      Wanting to hear words that I just can't say

[repeat chorus 2X; fade at end 2nd time]
