Am               G
You know what I mean
           D                  Em              Bm C Bm G
It's like walking in the heat all day with no water
Am                        G
It's like waiting for a friend
         D               Em                  Bm C Bm G
Watching everybody else meet theirs on that corner
    Am          G
Or losing in an argument
          D            Em                        Bm C Bm G
Although you're right can't get your thoughts in order

Chorus:
      Am
Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
      Bm
You know me well
   B
I don't explain

    Em       Am
But what the hell
                                        C       G
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Em7
Wasting all my precious time
C                    B7
Oh, the truth spills out
Am G  D/F#
Do all I've
B7             Em Am
I've told you now

Although I try my best I still let down the team
You're everything I want
Why should I resist when you are there for me?

Still I refrain from talking at you, talking on
You know me well, I don't explain

Chorus

I've told you now
I've told you now
I've told you now
I've told you now

Still I refrain from talking at you, talking on
You know me well, I don't explain

Chorus:
But what the hell?
Why do you think I come round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh, oh I, I've told you now
But what the hell?
Why do you think I come round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh, oh I, I've told you now
