. How many times do I have to try to tell you
F G C C/B Am | F G |
That I'm sorry for the things I've done, ooooh
C C/B
But when I start to try to tell you that's when you have to tell me
Am F G C C/B Am | F G |
Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun, yeah
D B
I tell myself too many times why don't you ever learn

To keep your big mouth shut

That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words that keep on

Falling from your mouth

C C/B Am
. I may be mad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind
F G C C/B Am | F G |
But I can still read what you're thinking, ooooh
C C/B
And I've heard it said too many times that you'd be better off
Am F G C C/B Am | F G |
Besides why can't you see this boat is sinking (this boat is sinking)
D B
Let's go down to the water's edge
F#m G Gadd9
And we can cast away those doubts
D B
Some things are better left unsaid
F#m G Gadd9
But they still turn me inside out
Fmaj7 Am7
Turning inside out
D
Turning inside out tell me
C C/B Am | F G |

C
This is the book I never read
C/B
These are the words I never said
Am
This is the path I'll never tread
F G
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
C
This is the joy that's seldom spread
C/B
These are the tears, the tears we shed
Am
This is the fear this is the dread
F G
These are the contents of my head
C C/B
These are the years that we have spent
Am
And this is what they represent and this is how I feel
F G
. Do you know how I feel?
C C/B
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
Am | F G |
I don't think you know what I feel
C C/B Am | F G |
I don't think you know what I feel
C
You donīt know what I feel
