Intro:    C    Em    G  Em  
CI reGmember giving Emup the gory Adetails
CAnd it left me Gtongue-tied (such and Emelementary Asickness)
Now I Cdon't want to Gthink and I Adon't want to Emfeel
I Cwasn't Gaware this was Apart of the Emdeal
CWhen I put my Gfinger on a Emgreater expecAtation
CBut just my Gluck, I lack the Empatience of a Astatesman
And Call of my Glanguage will Afail to conEmvey
That I'm Cterribly Gtwisted aAround what I Emsay
And the Cmessage that GI threw Aaway
I don't Chave it GnowEm  
I don't Chave it GnowEm  
I don't Chave it GnowEm  
I don't Chave it GnowEm  
So I keep hiding and it only grows to hurt me
But time is wasting and I'm watching it desert me
I'm digging a hole and I'm making it deep
And I'm starting to question the hours I keep
And the answer that I put to sleep
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
And so I'm writing with the hope that someone's reading
For all too likely runs the risk of me repeating
But I don't have the guts to prevent the decay
And I'm terribly twisted around what I say
And the courage that I threw away
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't Chave it GnowEm  
I don't Chave it GnowEm  
I don't Chave it GnowA  
I don't Chave it GnowBb  C  G

C Em G Em

Intro:

C G Em A

I remember giving up the gory details

C G Em A

And it left me tongue-tied (such and elementary sickness)

C G A Em

Now I don't want to think and I don't want to feel

C G A Em

I wasn't aware this was part of the deal

C G Em A

When I put my finger on a greater expectation

C G Em A

But just my luck, I lack the patience of a statesman

C G A Em

And all of my language will fail to convey

C G A Em

That I'm terribly twisted around what I say

C G A

And the message that I threw away

C G Em

I don't have it now

C G Em

I don't have it now

C G Em

I don't have it now

C G Em

I don't have it now

So I keep hiding and it only grows to hurt me

But time is wasting and I'm watching it desert me

I'm digging a hole and I'm making it deep

And I'm starting to question the hours I keep

And the answer that I put to sleep

I don't have it now

And so I'm writing with the hope that someone's reading

For all too likely runs the risk of me repeating

But I don't have the guts to prevent the decay

And I'm terribly twisted around what I say

And the courage that I threw away

I don't have it now

C G Em

I don't have it now

C G Em

I don't have it now

C G A

I don't have it now

C G Bb C G

I don't have it now
