Lisa Loeb
Intro:
[C*] [Am*] [Dm]// [G6]// [Fmaj7]
Verse 1:
[C*] You say [Am*] I only hear what I want to [Dm]// [G6]// [Fmaj7]
[C*] You say [Am*] I talk so all the time [Dm]// so… [G6]// [Fmaj7]
|Chorus 1:
|[Dm] And I thought what I [C] felt was simple,
|[Dm] And I thought that I [C] don't belong,
|[Dm] And now that [C] I am leaving,
|[Dm] Now I know that I [C] did something wrong 'cause I [Dm7] missed you
|[Fm] Yeah, I [F] missed you [C] [F] [C]
Verse 2:
[C*] And you say [Am*] I only hear what I want to
I [Dm] don't listen hard,
I [G6] don't pay attention to the [Fmaj7] distance that you're running
Or to anyone, anywhere,
I [Dm] don't under-[G6]-stand if you really care,
I'm [Fmaj7] only hearing negative, no, no, no, no…
|Chorus 2:
|And so I, I [Dm] turned the radio [C] on, I turned the radio [Dm] up
|And this woman was [C] singin' my song
|The [Dm] lover's in love and the [C] other's run away,
|The [Dm] lover is cryin' 'cause the [C] other won't stay
|[Dm] Some of us hover when we [C] weep for the other who was
|[Dm] Dying since the day they were [C] born
|Well, well, [Dm] this is not that
|I [C] think that I'm throwing, but I'm [Dm] thrown [C]
Bridge:
And I [Dm] thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure
You try to [F] tell me that I'm clever,
But that won't take me anyhow, [Dm] or anywhere [G6] with [F] you
|Chorus 3:
|[Dm] You said that I [C] was naive,
|And [Dm] I thought that I [C] was strong
|[Dm] I thought, "hey, I can [C] leave, I can leave"
|Oh [Dm] but now I know that [C] I was wrong, 'cause I [Dm7] missed you
|[Fm] Yeah, I [F] missed you [C] [F] [C]
|You said, "I [Dm] caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go."
|You try to [F] give away a keeper or keep me 'cause you know you're just so [Dm] scared to
|[G6] lose. [Fmaj7]
|[C*] And say, you
Outro:
[Am*] "Stay." [Dm]// [G6]// [Fmaj7]
[C*] You say [Am*] I only hear what I want to…. [Dm]// [G6]// [Fmaj7] [C*]
