Chords with lyrics
[Verse 1]
A minorAm G+G
If I tell you what I really want, you just say shut up
C majorC
You don't really want to hear it, no
A minorAm
I try to be resolute, you reduce it down to cute
E minorEm
I tell you you're a coward, you say I'm a prostitute
G+G
When the mascara's dried
C majorC
I know you've got something to hide
C majorC A minorAm
Can't you just say it, say it, say it, say it one time
E minorEm
Speak your mind, ooh
C majorC A minorAm
Say it, say it, say it, always show up with someone else
E minorEm
What's it like when you're yourself?
[Verse 2]
A minorAm
I'll tell you what I want, but I keep it kind of cryptic
E minorEm
I'm a zoetrope cipher on the tip of a triptych
G+G
Tell you what you want
A minorAm
Tell you what I need, but I'll hate you if you miss it
E minorEm
I'd like to take a stranger’s face in my
G+G
hands and kiss the taste of nowhere to hide
C majorC
Yeah, the taste of nowhere to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
G+G G+G G+G G+G
[Chorus]
C majorC A minorAm
I want you to say it, say it, say it, say it one time
E minorEm
Speak your mind, ooh
C majorC A minorAm
Say it, say it, say it, here comes the breakdown
E minorEm
What's it like when there's no one else?
G+G A minorAm
Say it, say it, say it, what's going on here
E minorEm
I swear you'll disappear if you don't
G+G A minorAm
Say it, say it, say it, take it down now to the car
E minorEm
We'll speak no more
A minorAm
You're just a cheap lout
G+G
You're just an escape route
C majorC
But you know, you know, you know
It makes me try again
[Interlude]
(with the talking sample)
G+G C majorC (play over and over [and over and over {and over}])
[Outro]
G+G C majorC
Say what you mean
G+G C majorC
Say what you mean
G+G C majorC
Say what you mean
G+G C majorC
Say what you mean
G+G C majorC
Say what you mean
G+G C majorC
Say what you mean
G+G C majorC
