Verse 1:

        Em          Am
           So many words
        D      /F#                G
           Are buzzing 'round my head
        Em          Am
           So many words
        D             /F#           G
           Are still waiting to be said

        E         A         E            A
        I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
        E         A               E         A
        I keep a-tryin'  but my mouth gets numb
        E         A         E            A
        I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
        E                         G#
          It's on the tip of my tongue

Chorus:

        D#             G#         C#m
           It's on the tip of my tongue [1, 2, 3: baby]
        D#             G#         C#m
           It's on the tip of my [1, 4: tongue]  [2, 3: T- t- t- ah!]
        D#             G#          A
           It's on the tip of my tongue
                                 C#m    B
        But the words they don't come

Verse 2:

        Each time you see me
        You must be thinking, "here comes a bad scene"
        But if you could just be me
        Then you'd know what I mean

        When I keep trying  to tell you I'm sorry
        When I keep hoping it's not over and done [45: yeah  LP: no!]
        When I keep trying  to tell you I'm sorry
        It's on the tip of my tongue

Bridge:

        C 
           What is it you want me to do
        Am
           Do I have to come out and spell it for you
            Bm           Bb+  Bm7/A        E/G#
        It must hurt you too, going on this way
         A                         B             E
        Wanting to hear words that I just can't say
