Words Fail (from Dear Evan Hansen)

I never meant to make it (Gsus)such a mess (G)I never thought that it would (Gsus)go this far

(G)So I just (Csus2)stand here (G)sorry searching for something to say

(Csus2)something to say

Words fail (D)Words (G)fail

(Csus2)There's (C)nothing I (D)can (G)say.

(G)I guess...

I thought I could (Gsus)be part of this (G)I never had this kind of (Gsus)thing before (G)I never (Csus2)had that (Cm)perfect girl (G)who (A7)somehow could see the good (Csus2)part of me

(G)I never had the dad who (Gsus)stuck it out

(G)No corny jokes or (Gsus)baseball gloves

(G)No mom who (Csus2)just was (Cm)there,

'cause (G)"Mom" was (A7)all that she had (D)to be

(Em)That's not a worthy (C)explanation (G)I know there is (Dsus)none

(Em)Nothing can make (Bm)sense of all these (Am)things I've (D)done

(Gmaj7)Words (C)fail (D)Words (G)fail (Csus2)there's (Fsus2)nothing I can say (F)except,

(G)sometimes you (C)see ev'rything you've wanted and (Fsus2)sometimes

(G)you see (C)ev'rything you wish you had and (Fsus2)it's right there,

(G)right there, (Am)right (G)there in (C)front of (F)you

And you want to (C)believe it's true

(F)So you (C)make it (Fsus2)true

And you think (Am7)maybe (C)ev'rybody (Fsus2)wants it,

needs it a (Cmaj7)little bit (F)too

(Dm)This was just a (Bbsus2)sad invention

what's really there

(Bb)No, I'd rather (Dm7)pretend I'm something better than these (Bb)broken parts

(F)Pretend I'm something other than this (C)mess that I am 'Cause then (Dm)I don't have to look at it and (Bb)no one gets to look at it

No, (F)(Bb)no one can (C)really see

(Am7)'Cause I've learned to (F)slam (G)on the brake
