  Keep your head and everything will be cool,           you didn't have to make me feel like a fool
             A2-    A         A2      A                 F#mE    B                                     F#m   E   B 
When I try to say, I feel the way that I do,       I want to talk with you
                                               A                                                                       B 
And make it loud and clear, though you don't care to hear, but
   E                             B                       A                 A2                   B                           A         E   BE 
Couldn't I just tell you the way that I feel, I can't keep it bottled up inside
             E                         B                       A           A2                           B                           A             E 
And couldn't we pretend that its no big deal, and there's really nothing left to hide
 D                                                                            C#  B 
Something sure doesn't seem right to me,           when you can turn your back whenever you please
                   A2-  A     A2-  A             F#mE    B                                       F#m   E  B 
And you stroll away, calmly bid me adieu,   why can't I talk with you
                                         A                                                                     B 
And put it in your ear, though you don't care to hear, but
   E                             B                       A                 A2                   B                           A         E   BE

             E                         B                       A           A2                           B                           A             E

     A     A#   B                                                                       A     A#   B 
(Hear me out) Why don't you lend me an ear?   (hear me out) you got no reason to fear
     A     A#   B                                 A                                             F#m   B       A  A#  B 
(Hear me out) I'll make it perfectly clear,   I love you

 D                                                                                            C#  B 
I don't come whining with my heart on my sleeve,       I'm not a coward if that's what you believe
                 A2-  A         A2-  A                           F#mE    B                                   F#m   E  B 
And I'm not afraid but not ashamed if it's true         I got to talk with you
                                                 A         B               A         B               A 
And then I'll make it clear, make it clear, make it clear

   E                             B                       A                 A2                   B                           A         E       BE 
Couldn't I just tell you the way that I feel, I can't keep it bottled up inside
             E                         B                       A           A2                           B                           A             E   BE 
And couldn't we pretend that its no big deal, and there's really nothing left to hide
