              C           G          D 
Why are you crying 
          C   G     D  
Did I say something wrong 
                C         G 
Were?nt we just talking 
              C   G    D  
Tell me whats going on 
 
 
 
          Em          C  
Cause I?m pretty sure my intentions  
     G                 C            
Were nothing more than conversation 
Em             C           
Maybe you just needed someone 
   G              D   
To listen to your heart 
 
 
        C         D  
Maybe I spoke too soon 
        Em       D 
Maybe I said too much 
           C        D 
Now that my face is blue 
                  Em  D  G 
Think it?s time I listen up 
             C    D    G  
I?ve already said enough 
 
 
 
 
C           G          D 
Sometimes I do this 
             C   G   D  
Thing is I?m so afraid 
               C       G 
When it get?s quiet 
               C   G    D  
What you might have to say 
 
 
 
 
          Em           
Cause I?m guilty of 
     C   
Overcompensation 
G                   
I?m lost in my 
C               
Own translation 
Em           C  
I apologize, I know I 
       G              D  
Should listen to your heart
