Chords for Words Fail (From The “Dear Evan Hansen” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ I never meant to make such a mess.
_ _ _ _ I never thought that it would go this far. _ _ _ _
So I just [C] stand here, [Eb] sorry, _ [Gm] searching for something to [B] say. _ _ _
[C] Something to say. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ Words fail, [D] _ _ [G] words fail. _
[C] _ _ There's nothing [D] I can say.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I guess I thought I could be part of this. _
_ I never had this kind of thing before.
_ _ _ I never had [Cm] that perfect [G] girl who somehow [A] could see the good part of me. _
_ _ _ I never had a dad who stuck it out.
_ _ No corny jokes or baseball _ gloves.
No mom who [Eb] just was there cause mom was [A]
all that she _ [D] had to be. _
_ _ [Em] That's not a worthy [G] explanation.
_ [C] _ [G] I know _ _ there is none.
_ _ _ [Em] _ Nothing can make [Bm] sense of all these [Em] things I've [D] done.
_ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _
_ [G] _ [C] Words _ [D] fail, words _ [C] fail.
There's nothing _ I can [Am] say.
Except [G] sometimes you see [C] everything you wanted _ and sometimes you see [C] everything you wished
you had and [F] it's right [G] there, right [Am] there, right [C] _
_ there in front of [F] you. _ _
_ _ _ _ And [C] you want to believe it's [G] true. _ _ _ _
_ [C] So you _ make it true.
_ _ _ _ _ And you think [Am] _ _ maybe [G] _ _
[C] everybody _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ wants it, _ _ _ needs it, [C] _ _ _ a little bit _ _ [F] too. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ This was just [Bb] a _ sad invention.
_ [F] _ _
It wasn't real, _ [D] I know. _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ But we were happy. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ I guess [Dm] I couldn't [F] let that go. _ _ _
[F] I guess I couldn't give that up.
_ _ _ I guess I wanted to [Dm] believe.
_ Cause if I just [C] believe, then I don't have to see _ what's really [Dm] there. _ _ _ _
Though I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts.
[F] _
Pretend I'm something other than [C] this mess that I am.
Cause [Dm] then I don't have to look at [F] it and no one gets to look at it.
No, _ no one [C] can really see. _ _
[Am] Cause I've learned to [G] slam on the _ _ [C] brake before I even [G] turn the key.
_ [Am] _ Before I [F] _ _ [G] make the mistake.
_ [C] _
Before I lead with the [Am] worst of [G] me.
I never let them [F] see the _ _ _ _ worst of _ _ [G] me. _ _ _ _
_ _ Cause _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [D]
what if everyone [F] saw? _ _ _
_ _ What if [C] everyone knew?
[Am] _ _ _ _ Would [D] they like [F] what they saw? _ _ _
Or would they _ [G] hate it too?
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ Will I just [Am] keep on [G] running [C] away from _ [C] _ _ what's true?
[F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So how [F] do I _ _ feel? _
[C] _ _ _ _ Step into the [D] sun. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ Step into the _
_ [D] sun.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
