I Can Hardly Speak

Eb

[Verse 1]
           Ab           Cm     Fm
When I turn out, not a word out
     Eb      Cm
It's my reality
           Ab           Cm     Fm
Then I curl up, it won't take much
         Eb           Cm
To stand in front and see

[Chorus]
           Ab           Cm     Fm
I got that ego, what do I know?
         Eb           Cm
It don't mean much to me
     Ab              Cm         Fm
Fall away now, on my way down
     Eb
It's all I know and I can hardly speak

[Verse 2]
           Ab               Cm     Fm
There's a lighthouse, I can hide out
Eb             Cm
Staring out to sea
        Ab                   Cm       Fm
Shine a word through, did it reach you?
   Eb           Cm
Or echo back to me?

[Chorus]
           Ab           Cm     Fm
I got that ego, what do I know?
     Eb           Cm
When I can hardly see
     Ab              Cm     Fm
Fall away now, on my way down
     Eb                                Ab   Cm
It's all I know and I can hardly speak

[Post-Chorus]
          Fm     Eb  Cm
A picture on the wall
                Ab  Cm
looking back at me
            Fm   Eb
And I can't even talk
                  Ab     Cm Bb Eb Cm
I'm floating in a dream
                  Ab     Cm Bb Eb Cm  Db
I'm floating in a dream

[Bridge]
    Ab                    Eb
You say I've a bent tooth
      Cm                     Db
Well, I don't even like you
Ab                          Eb
Want me to leave my cocoon
                           Db
Where does that leave you?
Ab                            Eb
You say you can see my bones
    Cm                          Db
But I can see right through you
Ab                       Eb
Too many faces to please
                        Db
I can't see a place for me

[Outro]
Db             Ab
I come home to write it all (For me)
Eb             Cm
I come home to write it all (For me)
Db             Ab
I come home to write it all (For me)
Eb
I come home, I come home
Db             Ab
I come home to write it all (A picture on the wall)
Eb             Cm
I come home to write it all (Looking back at me)
Db             Ab
I come home to write it all (And I can't even talk)
Eb                                          Db      Ab Eb Cm
I come home, I come home (I'm floating in a dream)
                  Db     Ab Eb
I'm floating in a dream
