CAPO: 2nd Fret

C5                                  A5   
Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear. 
        
                C5                                 A5
It must just be stress. But I likely shouldn't be here, 

F5
I'm such a mess.

C5
I never really ever know what to say

     E5
When all of my emotions get in the way

A5                                    F5
I'm just trying to get us on the same page

C5
I always get it better right afterward

     E5
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard

A5                                 F5                   
How come I can never get the right words, I need to 

   C5            E5          A5         F5
convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

                C5                                   A5
Wish I could explain the things that I have to work out

F5
I don't feel right

C5                            A5
What has come over me, I'm about

F5
To lose my mind

C5
I never really ever know what to say

     E5
When all of my emotions get in the way

A5                                    F5
I'm just trying to get us on the same page

C5
I always get it better right afterward

     E5
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard

A5                                 F5                   
How come I can never get the right words, I need to 

   C5            E5          A5         F5
convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

                 C5            E5          A5        F5
Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain    

D5    D5      C5        C5
Can I let the trees do the talking

G5     G5        D5      D5
Can I let the ground do the walking

F5                C5                     G5
Can I let the sky fill what's missing

                 D5                 F5      C5
Can I let my mouth do the listening... 

              G5      F5
the listening...

C5
I never really ever know what to say

     E5
When all of my emotions get in the way

A5                                    F5
I'm just trying to get us on the same page

C5
I always get it better right afterward

     E5
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard

A5                                 F5                   
How come I can never get the right words, I need to 

   C5            E5          A5         F5
convey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

                 C5            E5          A5        F5
Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain  
     
                    C5
What I mean to say
