[Verse]
G           Em        C              D
Be my mirror; show me what I can change
G                  Em
Don't go, I know that you know
C               D
Don't let me down softly

[Chorus]
          G                                                   Em
Well, this all happened on a sunny day
Em
You still couldn't see it 
                       C
when it was just a half an inch away
D
Staring you right in the face, I say,
D                                  C                      G
"Why can't you just say what you mean?
Am                       C                      D
Why can't you say what you mean, baby?"

[Verse]
G           Em        C              D
Shufflin' sideways
G                  Em
There's no way to get home
C               D
You're so slippery, frozen, ice cold, alone

[Pre-chorus]
          G                                                   Em
Now I see that your expression's changed
Em
Are you wishing you saved my place?
                       C
You're stranded on the ocean floor
D
Wonderin' what you could have said before
D                                  C                      G
But why can't you just say what you mean?
Am                       C                      D
Why can't you say what you mean, baby?

[Break]
G                                       Am
Well I've been workin' too many hours
Bm                    C
Only for your loose change
G                                       Am
This place is messy 'n' complicated
Bm                    C
And it only gets you back out
Am
And I want out
D                                  C                      G
Why can't you just say what you mean?
Am                       C                      D
Why can't you say what you mean?
Am                       C                      Am     D               G  G  G
Why can't you say what you mean, baby?
