The story behind the song

"I Want to Tell You" explores the challenges of expressing deep thoughts and emotions, reflecting on the inadequacy of words to convey genuine feeling. The lyrics delve into the "avalanche of thoughts that are so hard to write down or say or transmit," a theme inspired by George Harrison's philosophical explorations and experiences. It touches on interpersonal barriers and the struggle for meaningful communication, suggesting that sometimes our "mind" can confuse things. This song, off the 1966 album Revolver, plays like an urgent attempt to channel essential knowledge and psychological epiphanies.

[Verse 1]

I want to tell you

my head is filled with things to say

they seem to slip away

When I get near you

the games begin to drag me down

It's alright, I'll make you maybe

next time around

Bm Dm6 A

But if I seem to act unkind

B7 Bm

It's only me, it's not my mind

Dm6 A

that is confusing things

I want to tell you

I feel hung up and I don't know why

I don't mind, I could wait forever

I've got time
