(Am7) (G/B) (C2)
(Gadd9)And you say(Em7) I talk so all the time-so
(Am7)so (G/B) (C2)

(Am7)And I thought what I (G) felt was simple
(Am7)And I thought that I (G) don't belong
(Am7)And now that (G) I am leaving
(Am7)Now I know (G)that I did something wrong (Cadd9) cause I missed you
(Cm)Yeah, (Am7)I missed you (G) (Am7) (G)

(Gadd9)And you say (Em7)I only hear what I want to
(Am7)I don't listen hard
(G/B)I don't pay attention (Cadd9)to the distance that you're running or (G)to
Anyone, anywhere
(Am7)I don't understand (G/B) if you really care
(Cadd9)I'm only hearing negative, no no no - bad

(Am7)So I turned the radio on (G5) I turned the radio up
(Am7)And this woman was (G5)singing my song

(Am7)And you said that (G5) I was naive
(Am7)And I thought that I (G5) was strong
(Am7)I thought "hey (G5)I can leave, I can leave"
But (Am7)now I know that (G5)I was wrong cause I(Cadd9) missed you
(Cm)Yeah (Am7)I missed you (G5) (Am7) (G5)

(Am7)You said "you caught me cause you want me
And one day I'll let you go"
You try to (Cadd9)give away a keeper or keep me cause you're know
you're
just too (Am7)scared to (G/B)lose (Cadd9)

And you say, "stay" (G9) (Em7)
(Am7) (G/B0 (C2)

(Intro)You say I only hear what I want to.
