ConversatEion, getting’ so Dhard to make
I try to commuAnicate, but I can’t get tEhrough
We are strEangers, but I remeDmber when
You used to Abe my friend, and my lover tEoo.
[Chorus]
And I C#m7don’t really know how it happDened
And I C#m7don’t really know what to Csay, 
I just wF#m7onder how we eB9ver got this wEay?
ConversEation, that’s what it’s aDll about
Why can’t we taAlk it out, and say what’s on our miEnds?
SituEation, keep getting iDn the way
So much we neeAd to say, but we’re running out of tEime.
[Chorus]
And I C#m7don’t really know how it hapDpened
I have C#m7tried but I don’t undersCtand
How we F#m7ever let it B9get so out of haEnd
[Bridge]
It’s just like a Ddream you can’t remEember
Even thDough you always wish you cEould
When it’s gDone, it’s gone forEever
When it’s gDone, it’s gone for G – o – o – o E– o – D
ConversatEion, things that we’ve doDne and said
Keep running thAough my head, like a sad ecEho
DesperEations, gettin’ the bDest of me
Cause I can’t mAake you see, and I can’t let Ego…no!
