CAPO: 2nd Fret

C                                  Am   
Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear. 
        
                C                                 Am
It must just be stress. But I likely shouldn't be here, 

F
I'm such a mess.

C
I never really ever know what to say

     Em
When all of my emotions get in the way

Am                                    F
I'm just trying to get us on the same page

C
I always get it better right afterward

     Em
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard

Am                                 F                   
How come I can never get the right words, I need to 

   C            Em          Am         F
convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

                C                                   Am
Wish I could explain the things that I have to work out

F
I don't feel right

C                            Am
What has come over me, I'm about

F
To lose my mind

C
I never really ever know what to say

     Em
When all of my emotions get in the way

Am                                    F
I'm just trying to get us on the same page

C
I always get it better right afterward

     Em
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard

Am                                 F                   
How come I can never get the right words, I need to 

   C            Em          Am         F
convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

                 C            Em          Am        F
Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain    

Dm    Dm      C        C
Can I let the trees do the talking

G     G        Dm      Dm
Can I let the ground do the walking

F                C                     G
Can I let the sky fill what's missing

                 Dm                 F      C
Can I let my mouth do the listening... 

              G      F
the listening...

C
I never really ever know what to say

     Em
When all of my emotions get in the way

Am                                    F
I'm just trying to get us on the same page

C
I always get it better right afterward

     Em
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard

Am                                 F                   
How come I can never get the right words, I need to 

   C            Em          Am         F
convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

                 C            Em          Am        F
Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain  
     
                    C
What I mean to say
