[Verse]
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
 
 
[Chorus]
  C
I never really ever know what to say
     Em
When all of my emotions get in the way
    Am                                    F
And 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
 
 
[Verse]
               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
 
 
[Chorus]
  C
I never really ever know what to say
     Em
When all of my emotions get in the way
    Am                                    F
And 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    
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm            C
Can I let the trees do the talking
G             Dm
Can I let the ground do the walking
F             C
Can I let the sky fill what's missing
G              Dm                  F      C
  Can I let my mouth do the listening... 
              G      F
the listening...
 
 
[Chorus]
  C
I never really ever know what to say
     Em
When all of my emotions get in the way
    Am                                    F
And 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   Em   Am   F
