Verso 1:
Well I live too loud and I talk too much
But somehow I don’t see it as such
Seems like what I love the most
Is the sound of my own voice
Verso 2:
I pray my list and I say my piece
I check You off but I’m incomplete
Seems like what I’m missing most
AB
Is the sound of Your voice
AE
So why is it so hard for me
BC#mB
To shut my mouth and let you speak
AEB
Why do I feel the need to always keep on talking
AE
Well I know I need to hear from You
BC#mB
I know what I have got to do
D2E
To find what I’ve been missing
I’ve got to learn to listen
intro Verso 3Verso 3:
A wise man hears before he speaks
He knows he doesn’t know everything
I wish that sounded more like me
But I have got so far to go

To give my own opinion

Like I could tell You something
AE
You don’t already know
Chorus:
AE
So why is it so hard for me

BC#mB
I know what I have got to do

To find what I’ve been missing
I’ve got to learn to listen
