(from the movie "Napoleon Dynamite")

(feat. Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional)

[Chorus 1]
C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
F                               G
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
C                Am      G     C
I promise you, I promise you I will
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
If you need a friend
                Am
Don't look to a stranger
Am
You know in the end
Am             C
I'll always be there
C
And when you're in doubt
                   Am
And when you're in danger
F
Take a look all around
F   G       C
And I'll be there
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
F                               G
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
C                Am      G     C
I promise you, I promise you I will

[Verse 2]
C
When your day is through
               Am
And so is your temper
                 F
You know what to do
G                     C
I've got to always be there
G
Sometimes if I shout
                Am
It's not what's intended
F
These words just come out
G                C
With no gripe to bear
 
 
[Chorus 3]
C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
F
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
C                F       G
I promise you, I promise you 
 
 
[Chorus 4]
C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
F                               G
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
C              F         G     C
I promise you, I promise you I will
