Lori McKenna - Hardly Speaking A Word
CAPO: 6th Fret
[Intro]
G G/F# C G G/F# C
[Verse 1]
G G/F# C
Well, I know your life has been hard
G G/F# C
I see it in your eyes and I feel it in your heart
G G/F# C
When your eyes move down to the floor
G G/F# C
And your mouth changes shape, and your voice sounds sore
[Verse 2]
G G/F# C
I can hold you close in my arms
G G/F# C
And tell you that you're special
G G/F# C
And that you treasure such great charms
G G/F# C
And that you always keep my heart full
G G/F# C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
G G/F# C
I'm hardly speaking a word
G G/F# C
And I know these things should be heard
G G/F# C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
[Verse 3]
D C
And your struggle never changes me
D C
I'll never be able to see the things you see
D C
They say that you see things differently
D C
Just because it's different doesn't mean it can't be free
G G/F# C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
G G/F# C
I'm hardly speaking a word
[Verse 4]
G G/F# C
So I wonder, what do they know
G G/F# C
Maybe the problem is me not letting go
G G/F# C
Of a little boy who's smarter than me
G G/F# C
Who can't sit still and sees things differently
[Verse 5]
D C
And I'm yelling when I should be whispering
D C
I'm pushing when I should be carrying
D C
And I don't understand anything I've heard
D C
I should be yelling I love you
G G/F# C
But I'm hardly speaking a word
[Instrumental]
G G/F# C
[Verse 6]

And I don't understand anything I've heard

I should be yelling I love you
D C
I should be yelling I love you
D C
I should be yelling I love you
