Play intro throughout the verses
Verse 1:
Well I live too loud and I talk too much
But somehow I don't see it as such
Seems like what I love the most
Is the sound of my own voice
Verse 2:
I pray my list and I say my piece
I check You off but I'm incomplete
Seems like what I'm missing most
Is the s[A]ound of Your v[B]oice
Chorus:
So w[A]hy is it so h[E]ard for me
To s[B]hut my mouth and [C#m]let you s[B]peak
Why do I f[A]eel the need to al[E]ways keep on ta[B]lking
Well I k[A]now I need to h[E]ear from You
I k[B]now what I have [C#m]got to [B]do
To f[D2]ind what I've been missing[E]
I've got to learn to listen
intro through verse 3
Verse 3:
A wise man hears before he speaks
He knows he doesn't know everything
I wish that sounded more like me
But I have got so far to go
Verse 4:
[E] Why is my f[D2]irst reaction
[A] To give my [E]own opinion
[E] Like I could [D2]tell You something
You d[A]on't already k[E]now
Chorus:
So w[A]hy is it so h[E]ard for me
To s[B]hut my mouth and [C#m]let you s[B]peak
Why do I f[A]eel the need to al[E]ways keep on ta[B]lking
Well I k[A]now I need to h[E]ear from You
