Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear

It must just be stress
C/G                       Am
But I likely shouldn't be here
F
I'm such a mess
C/G
I never really ever know what to say
Em
When all of my emotions get in the way
Am                                    F   Fm
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
C/G
I always get it better right afterward
Em
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
Am                                 F
How come I can never get the right words?
          C/G             Em        Am
I need to convey-ey-ey-ey -ey-ey-ey -ey
F                  C/G
Wish I could explain

                               Am
The things that I have to work out

I don't feel right
C/G                        Am    F
What has come over me, I'm about to lose my mind

Dm                 C/G
Can I let the trees do the talking?
