CDEm
If I don?t say anything it?s wrong
CDEm
if I said it, it wouldn?t come out right
CDEm
It?s been keeping me up all night
CDEm
Half my life I?ve been told to shut up
CDEm
so how am I gonna open up
CDEm
wish you could just read my mind
Pre-chorus:
CDEm
If I shared all of me would you run away
CDEm
if I sugar coated what I had to say
CDEm
in poetry would it make you stay
Chorus:
CDEm
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
CDEm
Had all the words to speak my feelings
CD
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks
Em
and followed my heart
C
unafraid of the truth
D
even if I stood alone
CDEm
I didn?t know how it was gonna go
CDEm
even if the water was cold I?d take a deep breath
CD
and get it off my chest
Em
and hope for the best
Verse 2:
CDEm
They say either way you win
CDEm
if it?s mutual why hold it in
CDEm
and it?s not meant to be
CDEm
and you tell the truth it will set you free
CDEm
but all their wisdom doesn?t help me now
CDEm
I?m scared and I gotta find out
C
how to speak my mind
DEm
without metaphors and prose and rhymes
C
and still make you mine
Pre chorus 2:
CDEm
I hope you know what I mean when I?m acting mean
CD
cuz I don?t say what I mean when I?m caught in-between
Em
and I?m afraid
CDEm
the real you is eluding me
Bridge:
CD
And hope you will catch
Em
me when I fall
CD
and love me back
Em
when I show you my all
C
Fill in the blanks
D
if I?m not making sense
Em
be patient with me
