Em Bm D C# C G D 

Em         Bm
excuse me, but i've got a request
D              C#
could you take the gag off of my mouth
Em     Bm
i admit that i'm fairly impressed
D                        C#              C G D 
cause you're the best at blocking me out

Em        Bm
i believe that we weren't quite done
D                     C#
i know it's hard to hear me out again
Em        Bm
i realize, you're not the only one
D                    C#                 C G D 
who's terrified of life from end to end

Em                        C        G 
hey hey, can you hear anything i say
D                   C 
i'm feeling unwanted, that's not what i wanted
D
and attention to me is something you refuse to pay

riff 1

                               G
cause i just can't believe the way that this
C*
continues to go on
G                        C                      
i say i wish you didn't always think i'm wrong
        D Em G
so tell me
C                     G        D                   C   
tell me what will it take to get this through your head
C                        G
and tell me what will it take

until you see things through from end to end

[Intro]

Em         Bm
excuse me, but isn't this the way
D                         C# 
that things always turn into something good
Em              Bm
you've tried to ignore the things i say
D                  C#                    C G D 
but in the end you found you never could

Em                        C        G 
hey hey, can you hear anything i say
D                             C 
you search for the short-cut, you live life but for what
D
i love you and hope you will find the truth some day
