Words Fail (Dear Evan Hansen) Uke tab by Themes

G                               C

I never meant to make it such a mess

G                             C

I never thought that it would go this far

G         C          Cm

So I just stand here sorry

G             A/C#

Searching for something to say

C

Something to say

        C   D       G  C

Words fail, words fail

C               D      G   

There's nothing I can say

[Simple Strum]

G    C  G    C


G                            C

I guess I thought I could be part of this

G                         C

I never had this kind of thing before

G           C    Cm

I never had that perfect girl


G    A/C#                            C  

Who somehow could see the good part of me


G                       C

I never had the dad who stuck it out

G                   C

No corny jokes or baseball gloves

G         C         Cm

No mom who just was there

G                 A                D

'Cause mom was all that she had to be


Em                  C

That's not a worthy explanation

G               D

I know there is none

Em               Bm                 Am          D      Am

Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done


G       C   D       G 

Words fail, words fail

C       F

There's nothing I can say

       G                  C

Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted

F   G                  C

And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had

F                     G            Am    G

And it's right there, right there, right there

   C

In front of you

         F         C

And you want to believe it's true

          F

So you... make it true

     G  C                F

And you think maybe everybody wants it

F

And needs it

C

a little bit 

F

too

[Instrumental]

Fm  A#  F  A#  C# C  G  
A#

Dm               A#

This was just a sad invention

F                 C    

It wasn't real, I know

Dm 

But we were happy

Am                 A#

I guess I couldn't let that go

                   F

I guess I couldn't give that up

                       Dm

I guess I wanted to believe

                    C

'Cause if I just believe

                     A#         C      Dm

Then I don't have to see what's really there

               Dm

No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than

      A#

These broken parts

F

Pretend I'm something other than

     C

This mess that I am

            Dm                       

'Cause then I don't have to look at it

    A#

And no one gets to look at it

F              A#     C
No, no one can really see



       Am               F              G

'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake

C        F    G

Before I even turn the key

Am       F        G

Before I make the mistake

C        F             Am       G

Before I lead with the worst of me

C                F       Am       G

I never let them see the worst of me

[Outro]

C F G               

       'Cause what if everyone saw?

F C G 

      What if everyone knew?

C F G

      Would they like what they saw?

F C           F            G

     Or would they hate it too?

Dm                  G            C           F

Will I just keep on running away from what's true?

C          Dm    F

All I ever do is run

          Dm     F

So how do I step in

              C Dm F  C Dm F   

Step into the sun?

              C Dm F  C Dm F

Step into the sun

C Dm F

C Dm F
