Another great non-hit, released in the fall of '66 to underwhelming

response. Note that Rob Grill rerecorded the lead vocal track for the

_Let's Live For Today_ LP.

Verse 1:

Em Am

So many words

D /F# G

Are buzzing 'round my head

Em Am

So many words

D /F# G

Are still waiting to be said

E A E A

I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry

I keep a-tryin' but my mouth gets numb

It's on the tip of my tongue

Chorus:

D# G# C#m

It's on the tip of my tongue [1, 2, 3: baby]

It's on the tip of my [1, 4: tongue] [2, 3: T- t- t- ah!]

D# G# A

It's on the tip of my tongue

C#m B

But the words they don't come

Verse 2:

Each time you see me

You must be thinking, "here comes a bad scene"

But if you could just be me

Then you'd know what I mean

When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry

When I keep hoping it's not over and done [45: yeah LP: no!]

When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry

It's on the tip of my tongue

Bridge:

C

What is it you want me to do

Am

Do I have to come out and spell it for you

Bm Bb+ Bm7/A E/G#

It must hurt you too, going on this way

A B E

Wanting to hear words that I just can't say

[repeat chorus 2X; fade at end 2nd time]
