[Verse 1]
Am C G
I don’t mind listening

Good conversation is my thing,
C G D
But I won’t talk about the weather, no.

Am C
I’m not rude,

Nor am I shy,
D Am

Am C G
I don’t get your jokes,

You might have to repeat,
Am C G
Everything you just told me,
D Am
‘Cause I didn’t pay no mind,

And I know I,

Probably should try,

Every day,

Hey, how are you?
D Am
Oh, that question makes me blue,
C G D
‘Cause no one ever really answers it,
N.C. G
Awkward silences aren’t real,
D Am
It’s just something that your mind makes up,
C G D
When you’re feeling insecure.

It just don’t feel right,

Even if we talk all night,

Tell me how much you feel,

Something honest, something real,
C
Break the surface,
G D
Of your mind.
