RE RE5 DO#5 SI
Keep your head and everything will be cool
You didn't have to make me feel like a fool
LAsus2 LA LAsus2 LA FA#m MIWhen I try to say, I feel the way that I do
SI FA#m MII want to talk with you
And make it loud and clear
SIThough you don't care to hear, but
Chorus
(w/12-string as per intro)
Couldn't I just tell you the way that I feel
SI LA MII can't keep it bottled up inside
MI SI LAAnd couldn't we pretend that its no big deal
And there's really nothing left to hide
Verse 2:
Something sure doesn't seem right to me
When you can turn your back whenever you please
And you stroll away, calmly bid me adieu
Why can't I talk with you
And put it in your ear
Though you don't care to hear, but
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:

Verse 3:
I don't come whining with my heart on my sleeve
I'm not a coward if that's what you believe
And I'm not afraid but not ashamed if it's true
I got to talk with you
And then I'll make it clear
(A)Make it clear
Make it clear
