1. Oh, life is bigger. It's bigger than you and you are not me. The lengths
Em Am Em Dm
that I will go to, the distance in your eyes. Oh no, I've said too much. I set
G Am Em Am
it up. That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight. Losing my religion.
Em Am Em
Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it. Oh no, I've said too
Dm G
much. I haven't said enough.
Chorus:
F G Am F
I thought that I heard you laughing. I thought that I heard you sing. I think I thought
Dm7 G Am
I saw you try.

2. Every whisper of every waking hour, I'm choosing my confessions. Trying to keep an eye
Am Em Dm G
on you like a hurt, lost and blinded fool. Oh. Oh no, I've said too much. I set it up.

me to my knees failed. What if all these fantasies come, flailing around? And now, I've
Dm G
said, too much.
Chorus:
F G Am F
I thought that I heard you laughing. I thought that I heard you sing. I think I thought
Dm7 G Am
I saw you try.
