You say

I on ly hear what I want to.

You say

I talk so all the time,

And I thought (D)what I felt was sim ple, and I felt (D)that I don’t be long,

and now (D)that I am leav ing, now I know (D)that I did some thing wrong ’cos I (G)missed you.

Yeah, yeah,

I (Em7)missed you.

And you say

I on ly hear what I want to: I (Esus4)don’t lis ten hard, (D)don’t pay at ten tion to the (G)dis tance that you’re run ning to an y one, an y where, I don’t un der stand if you real ly care, I’m (G)on ly hea ring ne ga tive: no, no, no, no.

So I I turned the ra di (D)o on, I turned the ra di o up, and this wo man (D)was sing ing my song: (Em7)lo ver’s in love, (D)and the o ther’s run a way, (Em7)lo ver is cry’n (D)’cos the o ther won’t stay.

Some of us ho ver (D)when we weep for the o ther who was (Em7)dy ing since the day (D)they were born, well.

Well, this is not that; (D)I think that I’m throw ing, but I’m thrown.

And I (Esus4)thought I’d live for e ver, but now I’m not so sure.

You try to (G)tell me that I’m cle ver, that won’t take me an y how, or an y where with you.

You said that (D)I was na ïve, and I thought that (D)I was strong.

I thought, “Hey, (D)I can leave, I can leave.” Oh, but now I know (D)that I was wrong, ’cos I (G)missed you.

Yeah,

I miss you.

You said you (Esus4)caught you ’cos you want me, one day you let me go.

You try to (G)give a way a keep er, or keep me ’cos you know you’re just so scared to (D)lose.

And you say,

“Stay.”

You say
