[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)
