| Em | Am |
| What can I do to say | anything to you? |
| B7 | Em | |
| Or | why can’t I say it any | more? |
| Em | Am | |
| Do I need to | mess up my brain just to | talk to myself? |
| B7 | Em | |
| (Am I too) | happy, too old, or too | bored? |
| Am | Em | |
| And if you | open your arms and put a | smile on |
| B7 | Em | |
| Does that mean | you’ll be there to catch me when I | fall? |
| Am | Em | |
| And if I | say it to you so you can | hear me |
| B7 | |
| Does that mean | I never said anything at all? |
| Em |
| Em | Am | |
| You say you’re | well on the way to unders | tanding |
| B7 | Em | |
| But still you’re | waiting for me to say | more |
| Em | Am | |
| And when my | pen has run dry and I need | you now |
| B7 | Em | |
| I just see your | back as you walk out the | door |
| Am | Em | |
| When will you | get I’m not your personal | Picasso? |
| B7 | Em | |
| When will you | get I’m not so different from | you? |
| Am | Em | |
| What will it | take to get a little conver | sation? |
| B7 | |
| A little hint | that all your promises were true |
| Em | Am | B7 | Em |

| Am | Em | |
| And if you | open your arms and put a | smile on |
| B7 | Em | |
| Does that mean | you’ll be there to catch me when I | fall? |
| Am | Em | |
| And if I | say it to you so you can | hear me |
| B7 | |
| Does that mean | I have just been screaming at the wall? |
