yak - Words Fail Me

      [Verse 1]

C     E        F
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
C              E                  F
I try and I try but the words keep failing me
C        E      F
Alright, right, right
C                          E
You know I try, try, try, try
                  F
But the words keep failing me
C        E      F
Alright, right, right
C                          E
And ones that I love the most
                           F
That's when the words just fail me
                F
Alright, right, right
C                          E                    F
So you keep me out in the dark 'cause the words fail me
C        E      F
Alright, right, right

[Chorus]

E
So how can I convey the feelings

If I'm staring at the ceiling?
            C     F       C
Tell me how can I see the light?

[Verse 2]

C
You know when you said
E
Maybe you're better off in your own head
                      F
'Cause the words were failing you
                   C        E      F
Well you know it's alright, right, right
 C
'Cause I knew what you needed all along
                   F
But the words just failed me
                F
Alright, right, right

[Chorus]

E
So how can I convey the feelings

If you're staring at the ceiling?
        C           F       C
Tell me how can you see the light?

E
How you still permeate my dreamin'

When my wounds were still healing?
        C           F       C
Tell me how do you sleep at night?

[Bridge]

F               C
So I gave you a gift
F               C
Wrapped up in a box
F                      C
But when you opened it up
E              F
It was a empty gesture

[Verse 3]

C                            E
I, I, I, I try, try, try, tried
                          F
But the words just keep failin' me
C        E     F
Alright, righ, right
C                                                 E
You, you know, you know I try, I try, I try, try, try
                    F
But the words keep failing me
C         E      F
Alright, right, right
