[Verse] (main riff)
Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems
Better put ‘em in quotations
[Chorus] (main riff)
Say what you need to say (8x)
[Verse]
Bb Eb Gm F
Walkin' like a one man army
Bb Eb Gm F
Fightin' with the shadows in your head
Bb Eb Gm F
Living out the same old moment
Bb Eb Gm F
Knowing you’d be better off instead... if you could only
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Say what you need to say
Gm F
Say what you need to say (4x)
[Bridge]
Cm Eb F
Have no fear for giving in
Cm Eb F
Have no fear for giving over
Cm Eb F
You better know that in the end
Eb
It’s better to say too much
F
Than never to say what you need to say again
(main riff)
[Verse] (main riff)
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
[Chorus] (different than first two):
Gm Bb
Say what you need to say
Eb
Say what you need to say... (repeat and fade out)
