[Gm]
[Bbm]
[Eb]
[Eb] [Ab]
Every generation [Fm] blames the one before
[Ab] And all of their frustrations come [Db] beating on your door
[Gb] I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
[Bbm] I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears
I just [Eb] wish I could have told him [Eb] in the living [Ab]
year
Oh, Crawford made some paper
[Fm] Filled with imperfect [Db] thoughts
[Ab] Still to conversation
I'm afraid that's all we got
You [Gb] say you just don't see it
It says it's perfect sense
You [Bbm] just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We [Eb] all talk a different language
Talking in [Ab] defense
Say it loud
Say it loud
Say it [Db] clear
Say it clear
[Bbm]
As [Eb] well as [Ab] you hear
It's too late
When [Db]
we die
You [Bbm] and me
We [Eb] don't see eye to [Ab]
eye
So we don't fend off a quarrel
Between [Db] the present and the past
We [Ab] only sacrifice the future
[Db] It's the bitterness that lasts
[Gb] So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
[Bbm] You may have a new perspective
On a different day
[Eb] And if you don't give up
And don't give in
You may just be [Ab] okay
So say it, say it, say it loud
Say [Db] it clear
Come on, say it clear
[Bbm] As [Eb] well as [Ab] you hear
It's too late
When [Db] we die
You [Bbm] and me
We [Eb] don't see eye [Ab] to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When [Db] my father passed away
[Ab] Didn't get to tell him
[Fm] All the things I had to say
[Gb] I think I caught his spirits
Late in that same year
[Bbm] I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's newborn tears
I just [Eb] wish I could have told [F] him
In the [Ab] living years
So say it, say it, say it loud
Say [Db] it clear
Come on, say it clear
[Bbm] As [Eb] well as [Ab] you hear
It's too late
[Db]
[Bbm]
We [Eb] don't see eye [Ab] to eye
