[Intro]
G G C C
[Verse 1]
G C
My head's always going a hundred miles an hour
G C
So you'd think my mouth would be able to run that fast too
G C
And for a while, I was convinced that we were underwater
G C A A C C
But I'm only choking on the words I'd like to say to you
[Verse 2]
G C
So my journal's just a long list of unposted letters
G C
'Cause I go to speak and I don't make a sound
G C
And maybe I'm just one for irony 'cause l'm so hard to read
G C
But i've got everthing I think written down
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
Oh, I feel no different to a dog with a muzzle
Am C
Chewing up words in my mouth
[Chorus]
Em D C
So we'll sit in silence 'cause you can't talk over nothing
Em D C
Keep holding my thoughts to ransom
Em D Am C
And I'II keep writing these songs in the hopes of something
Em D C
Making any sense to someone
[Verse 3]
G C
And I often think knowing me's a strain on the eyes
G C
'Cause finding out what I really mean takes reading between the lines
G C
So I sent you a song that I thought that you might like (You might like)
Am F
Could you tell that I was saying that you're someone I don't mind?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
Oh, I feel no different to a dog with a muzzle
Am C
Chewing up words in my mouth
Am C
No, I feel no different to a dog with a muzzle
Am C
But that muzzle's my own fear and doubt
[Chorus]
Em D C
So we'll sit in silence 'cause you can't talk over nothing
Em D C
Keep holding my thoughts to ransom
Em D Am C
And I'II keep writing these songs in the hopes of something
Em D C
Making any sense to someone
[Post-Chorus]
Em D C
And it's not that I'm not trying
Em D C
Oh, it's not that I'm not trying
Em D C
No, it's not that I'm not trying
Am D C
Oh, I promise that I'm trying
[Outro]
Em D C G
My head's always going a hundred miles an hour
