G(9) Em7 Am7 Bm C
You say I only hear what I want to
G(9) Em7 Am7 Bm C
And you say I talk so all the time, so
Am7 G
And I thought what I felt was simple
Am7 G
And I thought that I don't belong
Am7 G
And now that I am leaving
Am7 G C(9)
Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you
Cm Am7 G (Gsus) Am7 G

G(9) Em7 Am7
And you say I only hear what I want to, I don't listen hard
Bm C
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running or to
G
Anyone, anywhere
Am7 Bm
I don't understand if you really care
C(9) C(9)
I'm only hearing negative, no no no
Am7 G Am7
So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
G
And this woman was singing my song
Am7 G
The lover's in love and the other's run away
Am7 G
The lover is crying cause the other won't stay
Am7 G Am7
Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was dying
G
Since the day they were born, well
Am7 G Am7 G
Well, this is not that, I think that I'm throwing but I'm thrown
Am7 Am7
And I thought I'd live forever but now I'm not so sure
C(9) C(9)
You try to tell me that I'm clever but that won't take me anyhow
Am7 Bm C(9) C(9)
Or anywhere with you
Am7 G
And you said that I was naive
Am7 G
And I thought that I was strong, oh
Am7 G
I thought "hey I can leave, I can leave"
Am7 G C(9)
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong cause I missed you
Cm Am7 G (Gsus) Am7 G

Am7 Am7
You said you caught me cause you want me and one day you'll let me go
C(9) C(9)
You try to take away a keeper or keep me cause you know
Am7 Bm C(9) C(9)
You're just too scared to lose
G(9) Em7 Am7 - Bm C
And you say, stay
G(9) Em7 Am7 - Bm C.
And you say I only hear what I want to
TAB:
I've transcribed two versions of the intro: the first one is
probably more accurate, the second is probably easier. When I
play it, I play the G(9) the easy way and the rest the hard way.

Thanks for the chords, Laurent ... for those who are interested, here's
my tab for the intro and verses. I've also made some minor corrections
