[Verse 1]
Am                   G                    Em   F
   I don't usually write these songs for you
Am                      G
   The ones who always hear my words
          Em               F                   Am
But never really seems to understand their truth
                            G
And I've tried time and time again
   Em                       F                  Am
To find the sounds that might get through to you
                   G
But maybe it's impossible
       Em                 F
Have I done as much as words can do?


[Pre-Chorus 1]
C                G              Am
  Is it just illogical? Unconveyable?
              F                 C
Does it just not conform to prose?
                       Em              Am
'Cause if you have to ask me what I mean
                  G
You might never know


[Chorus 1]
             F                  C
If you can't see what's in my eyes
             G                  Am
If you can't feel what's in my soul
             F                     C
If you can't hear these words I sing
                 G   (Gsus4 G)
Ringin' in your bones
                F                C
If you're not screamin' in your silence
               G             Am
If nothing's burnin' down below
               F                C
If you have to ask me what I mean
                  G
You might never know


[Verse 2]
             Am                  G
If you don't see the things I see
           Em                F
When you're starin' at the stars
          Am              G
If you've never felt lonely
              Em                F
And gone and picked up your guitar
          Am             G
If you've never felt unknown
          Em                  F
Sittin' right there in your home
         Am               G
Then it might not make a difference
          Em              F
How many times I bare my soul


[Pre-Chorus 2]
C                      G
  Well don't you seem all set?
                  Am
Tellin' me you get it?
                   F                 C
Yet the more you talk the more it shows
                      Em
I think you mighta stopped listening
        Am               G
In the way that matters most


[Chorus 2]
                    F                  C
'Cause if you can't see what's in my eyes
             G                  Am
If you can't feel what's in my soul
             F                     C
If you can't hear these words I sing
                 G   (Gsus4 G)
Ringin' in your bones
                F                C
If you're not screamin' in your silence
               G             Am
If nothing's burnin' down below
                    F                C
Well If you have to ask me what I mean
                  G
You might never know


[Bridge]
                F                 C
And maybe you don't know what it is
               G              Am
Or maybe you know it all too well
                F               C
And maybe you try your best to hide it
                  Am                   G
Or maybe you just face the world and yell
             F               C
But either way you know you feel it
           G                  Am
When you're singin' on your own
                  F                C
But if you have no clue what I'm sayin'
           Am             G
Could you just leave me alone!?

(Oh...)


[Chorus 3]
             F                  C
If you can't see what's in my eyes
             G                  Am
If you can't feel what's in my soul
             F                     C
If you can't hear these words I sing
                 G                    (Gsus4 G)
Ringin' in your bones (Ringin' in your bones)
                F                C
If you're not screamin' in your silence
               G             Am
If nothing's burnin' down below
                    F                C
Well if you have to ask me what I mean
                  G
You might never know, oh


[Chorus 4]
              F               C
If you're not fightin' for tomorrow
              G               Am
But always dreamin' of yesterdays
                F              C
If you're not standin' on the ledge
             Am            G
Starin' the future in the face
      F                 C
If the endin' of your story
         G                Am
Is leavin' well enough alone
                      F                   C
Then maybe you should quit it with the questions
            Am                 G
'Cause my words just fall on stone!


[Otro]
                   F                   C
So maybe you've heard these words I sing
                  G               Am
Or maybe you've just enjoyed the tones
                   F                  C
But if you have to ask me what it means
                  G
You might never know
