[N] I gotta get my big deep voice down a little [G] bit.

[F]
[C] That's the time when you start to [G] try to tell me, [C]
hey, [F] this kind of trouble [C] is only just [Em] begun.
[Am]
[F]
[D] I tell myself [Bm] too many times when will you ever [D] learn to keep your big [G] mouth shut?
[D]
That's why it [Bm] hurts so bad to hear the words keep on falling [D] from [G] your mouth,
[F] falling from your mouth, [D]

[Am] that you'd be [C] better off.
[F] [C]
See that this boat is [G] sinking.
This [Am] boat is sinking, baby.
This boat [F] is sinking.
[D] Let's go to [Bm] the water's end [D] and we can cast [G] away all of those.
[D] Some things are better left [Bm] unsaid.
Yet they [D] still turn me [G] inside out.
[F] Turning me inside out.
[D] Turning me inside out.
Tell [C]
me why.
[G] [Am]
[F] Tell [C] me why.

[C] This is the book.
[G] These are the words.
[C]
The dreams I dream instead.
[G]
[C] These are the tears.

[G]
[C] What they represent.
[F] This is how I feel.
[C] This is how I [G] feel.
