Got a feeling inside (Can’t explain)
It’s a certain kind (Can’t explain)
I feel hot and cold (Can’t explain)
Yeah, down in my soul, yeah (Can’t explain)

I said... (Can’t explain)
I’m feeling good now, yeah, but (Can’t explain)

Dizzy in the head and I’m feeling blue
The things you’ve said, well, maybe they’re true
I’m gettin’ funny dreams again and again
  E            D      B
I know what it means, but...

When I feel blue

But I can’t explain (Can’t explain)
Yeah, hear what I’m saying, girl (Can’t explain)

[solo 1]

Dizzy in the head and I’m feeling bad
The things you said have got me real mad
I’m gettin’ funny dreams again and again
I know what it means but...

[chorus]

Can’t explain
I think it’s love
Try to say it to you
When I feel blue

But I can’t explain (Can’t explain)
Forgive me one more time now, yeah (Can’t explain)

[solo 2]

I said I can’t explain, yeah
You drive me outta my mind
Yeah, I’m the worrying kind, babe
         A       E
I said I can’t explain
