Take all of your wasted honor

Every little past frustration

Take all of your so-called problems

Better put ‘em in quotations

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

It’s better to say too much

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

Say what you need to say... (repeat and fade out)
