Jason Robert Brown - Its hard to speak my heart

^EIt's hard to spe^Cmaj7ak my heart. I'm not a man who bares ^Ehis soul. I let the moment pas^As me by - I ^F#mstay where I am ^Ain control.

I hide behind my w^C#mork, ^BSafe and sure of what to sa^Ay: I know I must seem hard,^{F#m E} I know I must se^Aem: cold. ^E

I never touched that gir^Cl - You think I'd hurt a c^Ehild, yet I'd hardly seen her f^Aace before - I^F#m swear - I ^Aswore we'd barely met.

These people try to scar^C#me you ^B With things I've never s^Aaid. ^F#mI know i^Et makes no sense. I swear I don't ^Aknow why^Am: ^A

You see me as I am^C - You can't believe I'd lie - You can't believ^Ee I'd do these deeds - A little man who's scare^Ad and blind, Too lost^F#m to find the wor^Ads he needs.

^EI never ^F#mtouched that child - ^EGod - I never ra^Aised my hand! I stand before you now: ^{F#m E} Incredibly afrai^Ad. I pray you understand. ^E
