verse 1: 
 
Am7/Am            C 
I've  been searching  
                                   F 
Have you found many things? 
 
Am7/Am         C 
Time for learning, 
                                 F 
why have I not learnt a thing? 
 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
Em 
Words with no meaning 
 
G 
Have kept me dreaming 
 
C                                  F 
but they don't tell me anything 
 
 
 
 
C                    G                        Am 
And all you never say is that you love me so 
 
              C                 G            Am 
All I never know is if you want me oh 
 
                   C               G 
If only I could look into your mind 
 
          Am                                    G                     F 
Maybe then I'd find a sign of all I want to hear you say to me 
 
   Am 
to me 
 
 
 
verse 2: 
 
Am7/Am       C 
Are you uncertain? 
 
                                       F 
Or just scared to drop your guard? 
 
Am7/Am            C 
Have you been broken? 
 
                                         F 
Are you afraid to show your heart? 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
Em                 G 
Life can be unkind 
 
                       C                                      F 
but only sometimes you're giving up before you start 
 
 
 
C                     G                        Am 
And all you never say is that you love me so 
 
                C             G         Am 
All I never know is if you want me oh 
 
                    C              G 
If only I could look into your mind 
 
          Am                                   G                   F 
Maybe then I'd find a sign of all I want to hear you say to me 
 
   Am 
to me
