[Intro 1]
[D][Bm]
[D][F#m][Bm][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Please excuse me,
I'm not thinking [Bm]clear
It must just be [D]stress
But I likely shouldn't be [Bm]here,
[G]I'm such a mess

[Verse 2]
I [D]never really ever know what to say
When [F#m]all of my emotions
get in the way
[Bm]I'm just trying to get us on the same [G]page

[Verse 3]
I [D]always get it better right afterward
When [F#m]all the wrong impressions
are said and heard
[Bm]How come I can never get the right word[G]s,
I need to [D]convey[F#m][Bm]
[G]Wish I could expla[D]in the things
that I have to work [Bm]out

[Verse 4]
[Bm]I don't feel right
[D]What has come over me, I'm [Bm]about
[G]To lose my mind

[Verse 5]
I [D]never really ever know what to say
When [F#m]all of my emotions
get in the way
[Bm]I'm just trying to get us on the same
[G]page (Wish I could explain)

[Verse 6]
I [D]al ways get it better right afterward
When [F#m]all the wrong impressions
are said and heard
[Bm]How come I can never get the right word[G]s,
I need to con[D]vey[F#m][Bm][G]
Wish I could [D]explain
[F#m][Bm][G]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Can
I let
[D]the trees do the talking
[A]Can I let [Em]the ground do the walking
Can [G]I let the sky f[D]ill
what's [A]missing
Can I let my [Em]mouth do [G]the listening,
[D]the listening

[Verse 8]
[A]I n[G]eve[D]r really ever
know what to say
When [F#m]all of my emotions
get in the way
[Bm]I'm just trying to get us on the same [G]page

[Verse 9]
I [D]always get it better right afterward
When [F#m]all the wrong impressions
are said and heard
[Bm]How come I can never get the right word[G]s,
I need to con[D]vey[F#m][Bm]
[G]Wish I could exp[D]lain[F#m][Bm]
[G]

[Outro 1]
What I mean to say
[D][F#m][Bm]
