Bb C Dm C Eb Cm Eb
You don't understand me, my feelings, the reason I'm breathin', my love
The mornin' comes and you're reaching out for me just like everything's the same
and I let myself believe things are gonna change.
When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close, do you wonder who's inside?
Maybe there's no way we could feel each other's pain.
Tell me why it gets harder to know where I stand.
I guess loneliness found a new friend, here I am
You don't understand me...
Solo: Gm F Bb F Eb (2x)
You don't seem to get me, my baby. You don't really see that I live for your touch.
You don't understand me, my dreams or the things I believe in, my love.
You don't understand me. You don't understand me. Understand me.
