[Verse 1]
D                               G
Be yourself, they say, but be assertive
C                                G
Hold your ground but do not be unkind
G                                 Em
I have sought to be both lamb and lion
C                G               D
Heartache is the thing I tend to find
Am         D               G
Can I only have what I can capture
Em          B              C
Will I be unheard unless I shout
Am         B               Em
Clamor overwhelms me and I wonder
Am               C           D
What is there to be so loud about?

[Chorus]
G            C                 G
Many are the musings of my shy heart
       C                G           Am      C
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
D             C               G              C
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
    C                  A                 D
And send them out like magic through the crowd
     Em             C                        D
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid
  Em                          A
I wouldn't shrink away and disappear
  C                  D             G                 C
I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all
  Am           C                  D
I only want to know they know I'm here

[Verse 2]
D                              G
I can wear a mask of pluck and power
C                          G
But it never says what I intend
G                 D              Em
Words become like scissors in my keeping
    C                  G            D
And friendships are so difficult to mend
Am              D               G
I don't want to shout above the babble
Em           B                 C
I'm not even sure what I would say
Am           B                   Em
Maybe just, "Excuse me, could we maybe
Am          C         D
Be a little quieter today?"

[Chorus]
G            C                 G
Many are the musings of my shy heart
       C                G           Am      C
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
D             C               G              C
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
    C                  A                 D
And send them out like magic through the crowd
     Em             C                        D
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid
  Em                          A
I wouldn't shrink away and disappear
  C                  D             G                 C
I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all
  Am           C                  D
I only want to know they know I'm here
  Am           D                  G
I only want to know they know I'm here

[Verse 3]
D                                   G
Part of me has things she wants and wishes
C                            G
Part of me is worried she is wrong
G             D          Em
Part of me is busy masquerading
     C          G          D
As a girl whose pieces get along
Am              D              G
I don't mean to come across as distant
Em               B             C
I don't think it adds to my mystique
Am             B            Em         G
I just find it difficult conversing
Am                 C            D
And think an awful lot before I speak

[Chorus]
G            C                 G
Many are the musings of my shy heart
       C                G           Am      C
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
D                             G              C
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
    C                  A                 D
And send them out like magic through the crowd
     Em             C                        D
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid
  Em                          A
I wouldn't shrink away and disappear
  C                  D             G                 C
I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all
  Am           C                  D
I only want to know they know I'm here
  Am           D                  G
I only want to know they know I'm here
