Intro:    C   Am   F   Fm    G  
        C  Am F Fm
CI've been sittin' in my bed
With a glass in my hand
E7Tryin' to figure out a way

AmTo this talk we've just Bbhad
CThe questions I had asked about yesterday
About the E7sadness in your eyes
But the biggest smile
AmAre you facing aBbway?C  
FThe questions I had asked about how you feel
E7Only eyes reveal
AmYour answer's not for D7real
FBut I can't read your Fmmind
GNot this Ctime
Chorus:
I just want to know what you're going Amthrough
I don't feel wrong about asking Fyou
I can't read your Fmmind
GNot this Ctime
CI know that there are times
When you don't want to say
That there are E7problems in your head
That you can't explain
AmI have been that BbwayC

Maybe I have cried
E7But never did I try
AmTo put hurt on your D7side
FBut I can't read your Fmmind
