[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A B
Please excuse my manners for I suffer from a problem
E A B
of believing that my thoughts won't go away unless I say them
E A B
So it might sound like I'm talking to myself when I'm deep in conversation
E A B
It's a problem that I'm working on, I thank you for your patience
E A B E
But imagine for a second if I could listen to every word that you just said
A B
Instead of getting caught up in my head trying to finish all your sentences
E A B
and occasionally letting the words slip form my lips that I want to say next
E A B A
But if I wanted to hear what I wanted to hear I would talk to myself all day instead of you
[Chorus]
E A B A
Lalala I can't hear you
E A B A
Lalalala I'm not listening
[Bridge]
C#m G#
Now I'm hating on myself but I'm not getting better so I'm hating on you so it's not self-centered now
C#m G# E
I'm hating on you but I'm not feeling better so I'm hating on myself and I just need to breathe
A G C#m B A
God grant me serenity and I swear that if I make it through this moment then I will believe
A G C#m B A
God grant me serenity and I swear that if I make it through this moment then I will believe in you
[Chorus]
E A B A
Lalalala I can't hear you
E A B A
Lalalallalalala
[Outro]
E A B
And sometimes when I'm playing my songs I wonder if there's anyone listening at all but I
E A B E
swear to god I hope I die before I ever get bored of singing to myself
