	        Intro: ( E B A Asus2  B A E ) x2   E B E 

D                                           D C# B 
 Keep your head and everything will be cool,      you didn't have to make me feel like a fool 
      Asus2 -  A     Asus2  -  A         F#m E  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         Asus2          B              A     E  B E 
Couldn't I just tell you the way that I feel, I can't keep it bottled up inside 
      E             B            A      Asus2              B              A       E  
And couldn't we pretend that its no big deal, and there's really nothing left to hide 

D                                      D C# B 
Something sure doesn't seem right to me,      when you can turn your back whenever you please 
         Asus2 - A   Asus2 - A       F#m E  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         Asus2          B              A     E  B E 
Couldn't I just tell you the way that I feel, I can't keep it bottled up inside 
      E             B            A      Asus2              B              A       E 
And couldn't we pretend that its no big deal, and there's really nothing left to hide 

  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 

Solo: ( A A# B ) x2  A A# B  A  F#m  B    B C C# D 

D                                              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 
        Asus2 - A     Asus2 - A              F#m E  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 

Solo:  ( E B A   B A E ) x2 

 E               B            A         Asus2          B              A     E    B E 
Couldn't I just tell you the way that I feel, I can't keep it bottled up inside 
      E             B            A      Asus2              B              A       E  B E 
And couldn't we pretend that its no big deal, and there's really nothing left to hide
