CAPO: 2nd Fret

                                     
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-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-ey

                                               
Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain    

                  
Can I let the trees do the talking

                   
Can I let the ground do the walking

                                     
Can I let the sky fill what's missing

                                        
Can I let my mouth do the listening... 

                    
the listening...


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-ey

                                               
Wish I could explain-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ain  
     
                    
What I mean to say
