verse 1 
 
Cm                                  F   
You always talk, talk, talk all the time. 
   Cm                     F 
You never let me get in a word. 
Cm                    F 
I wish I had, I had a dime 
Cm                               F 
For ev'ry thought I've swallowed unheard. 
Bb                          C 
No matter what it is that I do, 
Bb                                 C 
It's like I just can't seem to get through. 
 
 
F                   Am 
I?ve got so much to say, 
    Bb            C 
If only you would listen. 
F                      Am 
I?ve tried ev'ry which way, 
Bb       C 
And still you never listen. 
F         C7        Dm 
Can't you see I'm hurting? 
A7                Bb 
I couldn't be more clear. 
F 
But I promise, 
Bb           C          F 
One day I'll make you hear. 
 
verse 2 
Cm                          F 
You know I try, try, try to explain- 
       Cm                 F 
I?m not the kid you want me to be. 
Cm                            F 
And yet it's all, it's all in vein-- 
Cm                           F 
You just don't wanna see the real me. 
Bb                              C 
You think you know what I'm all about-- 
            Bb                   C 
And yet you just keep shutting me out! 
 
 
F                   Am 
I?ve got so much to share, 
    Bb               C 
If only you would listen. 
F                        Am 
You could prove that you care, 
   Bb             C 
If only you would listen. 
F       C         Dm 
I?m not gonna beg you-- 
A7                 Bb 
You'll never see a tear. 
F          Bb            C           F 
But I promise, one day, I'll make you hear.

Eb    Bb            F 
Yeah, you'll see one day, 
Eb    Bb            F 
I?m gonna make you hear me. 
Eb    Bb    F 
Gotta find a way, 
Eb    Bb            F 
But you are gonna hear me. 
Eb    Bb       F 
Got so much to say 
Eb    Bb            F 
And I'm gonna make you hear me. 
Bb               C 
Maybe then you'll listen!
