Tom: C#m
E Cmaj7
It's hard to speak my heart.
E
I'm not a man who bares his soul.
A
I let the moment pass me by -
F#m A
I stay where I am in control.
C#m
I hide behind my work,
B A
Safe and sure of what to say:
F#m E
I know I must seem hard,
A E
I know I must seem: cold.
[Verse 2]
C
I never touched that girl -
E
You think I'd hurt a child, yet
A
I'd hardly seen her face before -
F#m A
I swear - I swore we'd barely met.
C#m B
These people try to scare you
A
With things I've never said.
F#m E
I know it makes no sense.
A Am A
I swear I don't know why:
[Verse 3]
C
You see me as I am - You can't believe I'd lie -
E
You can't believe I'd do these deeds -
A
A little man who's scared and blind,
F#m A
Too lost to find the words he needs.
E F#m
I never touched that child -
E A
God - I never raised my hand!
F#m E
I stand before you now:
A
Incredibly afraid.
E
I pray you understand.
