Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

fuzz guitar (doubled w/bass and marimba):

Verse 1

  So many words

  Are buzzing 'round my head

  So many words

  Are still waiting to be said

  I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry

  I keep a-tryin' but my mouth gets numb

  I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry

  It's on the tip of my tongue

Chorus

  It's on the tip of my tongue [1, 2, 3: baby]

  It's on the tip of my [1, 4: tongue] [2, 3: T- t- t- ah!]

  It's on the tip of my tongue

  But the words they don't come

Verse 2

Each time you see me

You must be thinking, "here comes a bad scene"

But if you could just be me

Then you'd know what I mean

When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry

When I keep hoping it's not over and done [45: yeah LP: no!]

When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry

It's on the tip of my tongue

Bridge

  What is it you want me to do

  Do I have to come out and spell it for you

  It must hurt you too, going on this way

  Wanting to hear words that I just can't say

[repeat chorus 2X; fade at end 2nd time]
