[Ab]
[Gm]
[Bbm]
[Eb]
[Ab]
Every generation [Fm] blames the one before, and [Ab] all of their frustration come [Fm] beating on your door.
I [Gb] know I'm a prisoner, all my father held so dear.
[Bbm] I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears.
[Eb] Wish I could have told him [Ab] in [Eb] the living [Ab] years.
Crumbled bits of paper filled with imperfect thoughts.
Still to conversation, I'm [Fm] afraid it's all we've got.
[Gb] Say you just don't see it, say there's perfect sense.
[Bbm] You just can't get agreement in this present tense.
We [Eb] all talk a different [Ab] [Eb] language, talking in [Ab] defense.
Say it loud, say [Db] it clear.
You [Bbm] can't listen as well [Eb] as [Ab] you hear.
It's [Db] too [Ab]
late, too late [Db] when we're down to [Bbm] [Fm] admit [Bbm] we don't see [Eb] eye to [Ab] eye.
So we open up a path between the present and the past.
[Db] We [Ab] only sacrifice the future.
[Db] It's the bitterness that lasts.
[Ab] [Db] [Gb] Don't give to the fortune, sometimes see it's fate.
[Bbm] May have a new perspective on a different day.
If you [Eb] don't give up, don't give in, [Ab] it may just be okay.
Say it loud, say [Db] it clear.
You [Bbm] can't listen [Eb] as well as you [Ab] hear.
It's too late, too late when [Db] we're down [Bbm] to admit we [Eb] don't see eye to [Ab] eye.
I wasn't there that morning when [Fm] my father passed away.
I [Db] [Ab] didn't get to tell him all [Db] the things I had to say.
[Gb] I think I caught his spirit later that same year.
[Bbm] Sure I heard it echo in my baby's newborn [Eb] tears.
I wish I could have told him in the [Ab] living years.
Say it loud, say [Db] it clear.
You [Bbm] can't listen [Db] as [Eb] well as [Ab] you hear.
It's too late, too late [Db] when we're down to [Bbm] admit we [Eb] don't see [Ab] eye to eye.
Say it loud, [Db] say it clear.
[Ab] Say don't give up, [Db] say it clear.
Say [Ab] it loud.
