[Em] [G] [Am]
[G]
[D] I tell myself too many times, why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth [G] shut?
[A]
[D] That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words that keep on falling from your [G] mouth, [A]
[F] falling
from your mouth, [D] falling from your [F#] mouth.
Tell [C] me why, [G]
[Am] [F] [G]
[C] why.
[G] I [Am]
[F] [G]

This is the fear, this is the [F] dread.
These are the conches in [C] my head.
And these are the years that we've [G] spent.
And this is what they represent.
[Am] And this is how I feel.
[F] Do you know [C] how I feel?
It's what I'm thinking.
[G]

Let's start jamming L.A. Session Singers - Why chords, familiarize yourself with these chords - Am, F, C, G, Am, C, F and G in sequence. A strategic approach would be to train at 45 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 91. With C Major as the song's key, tweak the capo to cater to your vocal pitch and chord likes.
