Biography:
Neil Sedaka (born 13 March 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American pop singer, pianist, and songwriter often associated with the Brill Building era of songwriting. He teamed up with Howard Greenfield to write many major hit songs for himself and others.
Sedaka wrote his 1959 hit "Oh! Carol" about his then-girlfriend, Carol Klein, later to become Carole King. In 1963, King released a humorous answer entitled "Oh Neil".

[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
F Am
You think you know me pretty well
Dm Bb
But how can you tell
C F
You never get inside my head
F
The times we talk
Am
We never speak
Dm Bb
We play hide and seek
C F Dm C
So many things are left unsaid
[Chorus]
F E7 A7
Why can't you see
Dm F
What's on the other side of me?
Bb F
The side of me
Gm C
That reaches out to you
F E7 A7
Sweet thoughts and dreams
Dm F
Like drops of rain on rippling streams
Bb F
That wind and bend
Gm C
Rivers with no end
Bb C F F
Flowing on the other side of me
[Verse 2]
F Am
It seems I always get unstrung
Dm
I trip on my tongue
Bb C F
With words that come out something else
F Am
I'm so afraid the things I say
Dm Bb
Might chase you away
C F
I have to hide behind myself
[Chorus]
F E7 A7
Why can't you see
Dm F
What's on the other side of me?
Bb F
The side of me
Gm C
That reaches out to you
F E7 A7
Why must I hide
Dm F
These feelings that have been denied?
Bb F
Only you can set me free
Bb C F F
See what's on the other side of me
[Bridge]

These feelings that have been denied?

Only you can set me free

See what's on the other side of me
