Words Fail chords by Dear Evan Hansen

No capo

Verse:
G                F
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
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

Instrumental:
G  C
G  C

Verse:
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
Who somehow could see the good part of me

Verse:
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

Pre-Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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
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#

Bridge:
F        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

Chorus:
    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
