Verse 1:
[D] Keep your head and everything will be cool[D5] [C#5] [B]
[B]You didn't have to make me feel like a fool
When I[Asus2] try to s[A]ay, I [Asus2]feel the w[A]ay that I [F#m]do[E]
[B]I want to talk with [F#m]you[E]
[B]And make it l[E]oud a[B]nd c[A]lear
Though you don't care to hear, b[B]ut
Chorus:
(w/12-string as per intro)
C[E]ouldn't I just t[B]ell you the w[A]ay that I feel
I can't k[B]eep it bottled [A]up ins[E]ide
And c[E]ouldn't we pret[B]end that its [A]no big deal
And there's r[B]eally nothing l[A]eft to h[E]ide
Verse 2:
Something sure doesn't seem right to me
When you can turn your back whenever you please
And you stroll away, calmly bid me adieu
Why can't I talk with you
And put it in your ear
Though you don't care to hear, but
[repeat cborus]
Bridge:
(H[A]ear [A#]me o[B]ut) Why don't you l[A]end me an ear
(H[A]ear [A#]me o[B]ut) You got no r[A]eason to fear
(H[A]ear [A#]me o[B]ut) I'll make it pe[A]rfectly cl[E]ear
I love [F#m]you[A] [A#] [B]
[guitar solo over bridge cbords]
[pickup into last verse]
[B] [B] [C] [C#] [D] Verse 3:
I don't come whining with my heart on my sleeve
I'm not a coward if that's what you believe
And I'm not afraid but not ashamed if it's true
I got to talk with you
And then I'll make it clear
M[A]ake it clear
Make it clear
