Play intro throughout the verses

Verse 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

Verse 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
        A             B
Is the sound of Your voice

Chorus:
    A            E
So why is it so hard for me
    B                C#m      B
To shut my mouth and let you speak
          A                 E              B
Why do I feel the need to always keep on talking
        A              E
Well I know I need to hear from You
   B               C#m    B
I know what I have got to do
    D2                         E
To find what I've been missing

I've got to learn to listen


intro through verse 3

Verse 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


Verse 4:

E             D2
   Why is my first reaction
A             E
   To give my own opinion
E               D2
   Like I could tell You something
        A             E
   You don't already know


Chorus:
    A            E
So why is it so hard for me

To shut my mouth and let you speak
          A                 E              B
Why do I feel the need to always keep on talking
        A              E
Well I know I need to hear from You
   B               C#m    B
I know what I have got to do
     D                        E
To find what I've been missing

I've got to learn to listen
