Words Fail Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I never meant to make it such a mes[C]s
[G]I never thought that it would go thi[C]s far
[G]So I just stand here sor[Cm]ry
[G]Searching for [A]something to say
[C]Something to say
Words [D]fail, [G]words [Em]fail
There's [C]nothing [D]I can say
[G][C]
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]I guess I thought I could be [C]part of this
[G]I never had this kind of thi[C]ng before
[G]I never had[C] tha[Cm]t perfect gir[G]l
Who [A]somehow could see
the [C]good part of me

[Verse 3]
[G]I never had the dad who[C] stuck it out
[G]No corny jokes or basebal[C]l gloves
[G]No mom who[C] just was the[Cm]re
'Cause [G]mom was [A]all that she [D]had to be

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Em]That's not a worthy [C]explanation
I [G]know there [D]is none
[Em]Nothing can make sense[Bm]
of all these [Am]things I've done
[G]Words

[Chorus 1]
[C]fai[D]l, wor[G]ds fai[Em]l
There's [F]nothing I can say
Except some[G]times,
you see [C]everything you [Em]wanted
[F]And some[G]times
you see [C]everything you [Em]wish you had
And [F]it's right [G]there, right there, [Am]right [G]there

[Bridge 1]
[Em]In front of yo[F]u
And you want to be[Em]lieve it's [F]true
So [Em]you make it t[F]rue
And you [Am]think may[C]be every[Em]body [F]wants it
And needs it, a [C]little bit [F]too
[Bb][F][Bb]
[F][Bb][Bbm][F]
[G][Bb]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]This was just a sad [Bb]invention
[F]It wasn't rea[Am]l, I know
[Dm]But we were happy
[Am]I guess I couldn't let t[Bb]hat go
I guess I couldn't [F]give that up
I guess I wanted to be[Dm]lieve
'Cause if I just be[C]lieve
Then I don't have to [Bb]see what's really t[Dm]here

[Verse 5]
No, I'd rather pre[Dm]tend
I'm something better
than [Bb]these broken parts
Pre[F]tend I'm something other
than this [C]mess that I am
'Cause then [Dm]I don't have to look at it
And [Bb]no one gets to look at it
[F]No, [Bb]no one can r[C]eally see

[Chorus 2]
[Am]'Cause I've learned to slam [F]on t[G]he brake
[C]Before I eve[F]n tur[G]n the key
[Am]Before I make [F]the [G]mistake
[C]Before I lea[F]d with the wor[Am]st of me[G]
I [Em]never let them [F]see the [Am]worst of [G]me

[Bridge 2]
[C][Am][G]
'Cause what if everyone saw?
[F][G]
What if everyone everyone knew?
[C][Am][G]
Would they like what they saw?
[F]Or would the[Am]y hate it too[G]?
[Dm]Will I just keep[Am] on runn[G]ing away
[Em]from what'[F]s true?

[Outro 1]
[Am]All I ever d[F]o is r[C]un
So how do [Dm]I step in[F]
Step into the [C]sun?[Dm][F]
[C][Dm][F]
Step into the [C]sun[Dm][F]
[C][Dm][F]
[C][Dm][F]
[C][Dm][F]
