[Verse 1]
        G        G/F#           C
Well, I know your life has been hard
  G              G/F#       C
I see it in your eyes and I feel it in your heart
          G         G/F#        C
When your eyes move down to the floor
         G             G/F#            C
And your mouth changes shape, and your voice sounds sore


[Verse 2]
      G       G/F#         C
I can hold you close in my arms
    G       G/F#         C
And tell you that you're special
             G        G/F#       C
And that you treasure such great charms
             G      G/F#    C
And that you always keep my heart full
        G      G/F#       C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
    G      G/F#       C
I'm hardly speaking a word
      G          G/F#             C
And I know these things should be heard
        G      G/F#       C
But I'm hardly speaking a word


[Verse 3]
D                 C
And your struggle never changes me
D                     C
I'll never be able to see the things you see
D                     C
They say that you see things differently
D                                   C
Just because it's different doesn't mean it can't be free
        G      G/F#       C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
    G      G/F#       C
I'm hardly speaking a word


[Verse 4]
     G       G/F#         C
So I wonder, what do they know
G         G/F#       C
Maybe the problem is me not letting go
     G                G/F#         C
Of a little boy who's smarter than me
    G         G/F#      C
Who can't sit still and sees things differently


[Verse 5]
D                    C
And I'm yelling when I should be whispering
D                C
I'm pushing when I should be carrying
D                      C
And I don't understand anything I've heard
D                     C
I should be yelling I love you
                          G     G/F#  C
But I'm hardly speaking a word

[Verse 6]
     G       G/F#      C
So I wonder, what do I know
G         G/F#       C
Maybe the problem is me not letting go
     G                G/F#         C
Of a little boy who's smarter than me
    G         G/F#      C
Who can't sit still and sees things differently


[Verse 7]
D                    C
And I'm yelling when I should be whispering
D                C
I'm pushing when I should be carrying
D                      C
And I don't understand anything I've heard
D                     C
I should be yelling I love you
D                     C
I should be yelling I love you
D                     C
I should be yelling I love you
                         G     G/F#  C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
