verse 1
Cm F
You always talk, talk, talk all the time.
Cm F
You never let me get in a word.

I wish I had, I had a dime

For ev'ry thought I've swallowed unheard.

It's like I just can't seem to get through.

If only you would listen.

And still you never listen.

But I promise,
Bb C F
One day I'll make you hear.
