[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Eb
I went through this door
             Fm
For no other reason
 
Than it wasn't open
Bb                Eb                                     Ab
And sometimes I'm foolish enough to believe encouraging things
                                   Eb
But most times I'm cautiously less optimistic
 
A face in the crowd
             Ab
I wish to be found
                                 Eb
I worry so often for those who escape
 
I wonder out loud
               Ab
I sleep at odd hours
                                             Eb
And I write 'cause I never know just what to say
 
Ab Bb Eb Ab Bb
 
[Verse 2]
Eb
My friends all believe me
               Fm                   Ab
When I say I'm busy with pretty big things
              Eb
I cancel most plans
 
I hurt someone's feelings
                Fm
I feel like I'm starting
                  Ab                        Eb
And just when I'm starting, I'm starting to stray
 
 
[Chorus]
                             Fm
And everyday, I take a white page
                                       Cm
And try very hard to know just what to say
             Ab                Eb
Just what to say, just what to say
                                     Cm
I try very hard to know just what to say
             Ab                Eb
Just what to say, just what to say
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
I've planted some clues
                     Fm
That I hope you find easily
                                           Eb
Things that I find hard to speak clear and true
 
I think there's a part of you
           Ab
Hoping I'm hoping you feel like I do
                 Eb
And maybe you're listening somewhere you like to be
              Ab
Where you let everything heavy just go
                Eb
Oh, I'd like to be there
 
How I'd like to stay
                Ab
How I'd like to listen
                                            Cm
How I'd like to think I'd know just what to say
 
 
[Chorus]
             Ab                Eb
Just what to say, just what to say
                                     Cm
I try very hard to know just what to say
             Ab                Eb
Just what to say, just what to say
 
 
[Bridge]
Ab                 Eb
Somebody, somebody blocked the door
Ab            Cm     Bb
I know it was me for sure
Ab           Eb                     Bb
But somebody knows where I'm hidden away
 
 
[Chorus]
                                     Cm
I try very hard to know just what to say
             Ab                 Eb
Just what to say, just what to say
                                     Cm
I try very hard to know just what to say
             Ab                Eb
Just what to say, just what to say
                                     Cm
I try very hard to know just what to say
             Ab                Eb
Just what to say, just what to say
