[Verse]

G                    Em                
We must look like a couple of strangers 
 C                      G
sitting in a quiet room
 G                        Em
You've been studying the patterns 

on the carpet
 C                  G
I've been studying you
 G                 Em
You kept building higher walls
D               C
I kept busting through
 
 G                  Em
We've been on this same road together
     C
But somehow got a different view
 
 
[Chorus]

          G               
I thought I was telling you 
   D
I loved you
          C                        D
I thought I could make it up with words
       C                 D
I was trying so hard to reach you
 
            G   C        G
But that's not what you heard
 
   G  Em  C  G
Oh oh
 
 
[Verse]

G                    Em
I must sound like a broken old record
 C                   G
Needle stuck in the groove
 G                    Em
Saying the same thing over and over
 C                       G
Trying to get a message through
 G                     Em
Dang these words I've always trusted
 D                  C
Wound up hurting you
 
     G            Em
It's only in the aftermath
            C                G
We see the damage they can do
 
 
[Chorus]

          G                    D
I thought I was telling you I loved you
          C                        D
I thought I could make it up with words
       C                 D
I was trying so hard to reach you
 
            G   C        G
But that's not what you heard
 
         C                     D
Now I'm feeling every mile between us
       C                   D
And I wonder if I'll ever learn
         C            
That it doesn't matter 
       D
how I mean it
 
           G   C        G
If that's not what you heard
 
   G  Em  C  G
Oh oh
   G  Em  C  G
Oh oh
    G       Em  C  G
Oh yeah yeah
   G  Em  C  G
Oh oh
 
 
[Chorus]

          G                
I thought I was telling you 
   D
I loved you
          C                        D
I thought I could make it up with words
       C                 D
I was trying so hard to reach you
 
            G   C        G
But that's not what you heard
 
         C                     D
Now I'm feeling every mile between us
   C                   D
I wonder if I'll ever learn
         C                    D
That it doesn't matter how I mean it
 
          Em
If that's not what you heard
 
 
[Outro]

        C                
No, it doesn't matter how 
   D
I mean it
           G   C        G
If that's not what you heard
 
   G  Em  C  G
Oh oh
   G  Em  C  G
Oh oh
