This is how she plays it in the video she posted. She likes to hammer on the third 
of the Am's every once in awhile.

Capo 2.


                                
Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear

It must just be stress
                       
But I likely shouldn't be here

I'm such a mess

I never really ever know what to say

When all of my emotions get in the way
                                       
I'm just trying to get us on the same page

I always get it better right afterward

When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
                                 
How come I can never get the right words?
                               
I need to convey-ey-ey-ey -ey-ey-ey -ey
                  
Wish I could explain

                               
The things that I have to work out

I don't feel right
                            
What has come over me, I'm about to lose my mind


I never really ever know what to say

When all of my emotions get in the way
                                      
I'm just trying to get us on the same page

I always get it better right afterward

When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
                                 
How come I can never get the right words?
                                
I need to convey -ey-ey-ey -ey-ey-ey -ey
                                        
 
Wish I could explain ai-ai-ai -ai-ai-ai -ain

                 
Can I let the trees do the talking?
             
Can I let the ground do the walking?
             
Can I let the sky fill whats missing in?
                           
Can I let my mouth do the listening?
            
The listening

Chorus x 1

              
What I mean to say
