INTRO: do riff1

(do riff1 2x)
You say
I only hear what I want to
And you say
I talk so all the time... so

Ebm              C#
And I thought what I felt was simple
Ebm             C#
And I thought that I don't belong
Ebm         C#
And now that I am leaving
Ebm           C#
Now I know that I did something wrong
       F#m7        F#m
Cause I missed you
        Ebm-C#-Ebm-C#
Yeah... I missed you

(do riff1 up to **)
And you say
I only hear what I want to
Ebm        
I don't listen hard
Fm                    F#m7
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
To anyone, anywhere
Ebm                Fm
I don't understand if you really care
F#m7
I'm only hearing negative
No, no, no, bad

     Ebm               C#
So I, turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
Ebm             C#   
And this woman was singing my song
Ebm            C#
Lovers in love, then the other's run away
Ebm            C#
Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay
Ebm               C#
Somebody's heart will only weep for the other
Ebm                 C#
Who was dying since the day they were born, well
Ebm                        C#                        Ebm-C#
Well, this is not that I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown

Ebm
And I thought I'd leave forever
And now I'm not so sure
F#m7
You try to tell me that I'm clever
But that won't take me anyhow
Ebm      Fm       F#m7
Or anywhere with you

Ebm          C#
And you said that I was naive
Ebm           C#
I thought that I was strong, oh
Ebm          C#
I thought, hey, I can live, I can live, oh
Ebm            C#
But now I know that I was wrong
F#m7                F#m
'Cause I missed you
        Ebm-C#-Ebm-C#
Yeah... missed you

           Ebm
You said you caught me 'cause you want me
And one day you'll let me go
            F#m7
You try to take away the keeper
Or keep me 'cause you know you're just so
Ebm       Fm   F#m7
Scared to lose
           (do riff1)
And you say
Stay

(do riff1)
And you say
I only hear what I want to
