[Verse]
      Am               C               D           G
Every now and then you say something I understand
          Am               C      D  G
And every now and then you don't
        Am                C             D           G
You may say you need some time alone to comprehend
          Am            C     D  G
And all I hear is the 'alone'

[Chorus]
  Am       C            D               G
I hear you say, it just wasn't meant to be
  Am       C            D               G
I hear you say, I'm not good enough for you
  Am       C            D            G
I hear you say that you want to be released
  Am6      C    D  G
I hear you say

[Verse]
        Am                  C          D              G
You may say you know what's going on inside my brain
             Am               C     D  G
That you can see right to the core
         Am            C              D             G
You will say that everything is gonna be okay, that
               Am           C  D  G
That you could never ask for more

[Chorus]
      Am       C            D               G
But I hear you say that I'm totally a mess
  Am       C        D              G
I hear you say that I don't have a prayer
  Am       C               D        G
I hear you say that you're easily impressed
  Am6      C    D  Am
I hear you say

[Bridge]
                       Em       G
You may say it's my perception
                 D    Am
Well, that may be so
                   Em
But you made yourself the expert
       Am                 C
Tell me, what is there to know
         D            G       Am         C  D
Tell me, what is there to know, oh, yeah

[Verse]
        Am                C                 D            G
You may say that I should spend more time inside myself
          Am             C     D  G
I've been doing that for days
        Am           C                   D             G
You may ask me how I learned to speak my mind so well
    Am               C                 D        G
Oh, let me count the ways and ways and ways and

[Chorus]
  Am       C            D               G
I hear you say, it just wasn't meant to be
  Am       C            D               G
I hear you say, I'm not good enough for you
  Am       C             D            G
I hear you say, that you want to be released
  Am6      C    D
I hear you say
         G
Oh, yeah

[Chorus]
  Am       C            D               G
I hear you say that I'm totally a mess
  Am       C        D               G
I hear you say that I don't stand a chance
  Am       C           D                  G
I hear you say all the things you don't address
  Am6      C    D
I hear you say
         G
Oh, yeah
  Am6      C
I hear you say
 D        G
Oh, yeah, yeah
