[Ab]
[Gm]
[Bbm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Ab]
Every generation blames the one before.
[Db] [Ab] All of that frustration come [Db] beating on your door.
[Ab] [Gb] 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.
[Eb] I wish I could have told [Db] him in [Eb] the living [Ab]
year.
[Db] [Ab]
Crumpled bits of paper filled [Db] with imperfect [Ab] thoughts.
Still the conversation.
I'm [Db] afraid that's all we are.
You say [Gb] you just don't see it.
You say there's perfect sense.
[Bbm] You just can't get agreement in this present sense.
We [Eb] all talk a different language [Db] [Eb] in [Ab]
defense.
Will you help me now?
[Db] Say [Ab] it loud.
Oh, say it loud.
Say [Db] it clear.
Come on, say it clear.
You [Bbm] can [Eb] listen as loud as [Ab] you hear.
Well, you know that it's too [Db] late.
[Ab]
It's too late now.
When [Db] we die.
People, when we die.
[Ab] To [Bbm] end it, we don't [Eb] see eye [Ab]
to eye.
[Db] [Ab] So we open up a quarrel between [Db] the present and the past.
We [Ab] only sacrifice the future.
It's [Db] the bitterness that lasts.
[Gb] Don't yield to the fortune you sometimes see us make.
[Bbm] May have a new perspective on a different day.
[Eb] If you don't give up and don't give [Db] in, you [Eb] may just be [Ab] okay.
Come on now.
You say it loud.
Won't you say it loud?
Say [Db] it clear.
Won't I say it clear?
You [Bbm] can listen [Eb] as loud as [Ab] you hear.
Oh, don't you know that it's too late now?
It's too late.
When [Db] we die.
Oh, when we die.
To [Bbm] end it, we [Eb] don't see eye [Ab] to eye.
I wasn't there that morning when [Db] my father passed away.
[Ab] I didn't get to tell him all [Db] the things I had to say.
I [Gb] think I caught his spirit later that same year.
[Bbm] Sure, I heard his echo in my baby's newborn tears.
[Eb] I wish I could have told him.
[Db] [Eb] In [Ab] the living years.
[Db] Beautiful.
Sing it.
Say it [Ab] loud.
Say [Db] it loud.
Oh, won't you say it clear?
You can [Bbm] listen [Eb] as loud as [Ab] you hear.
Cause [Db] you know that it's [Ab] too late.
People, it's too late.
[Db]
It's too late.
[Bbm]
To admit that we don't [Eb] see eye [Ab] to eye.
Just say it, say it, say it loud.
Say it loud.
[Db]
Won't you say it clear?
[Ab]
Don't [Db] you wake up, it's too late.
Sing it every single [Ab] day.
Oh, it's too late.
[Db]
Don't let it wait too long before you say it.
[Ab]
Say it loud.
[Db]
Don't let it go.
[Ab] Say it loud.
Say [Db] it clear.
You can [Bbm]
listen as [Eb] well [Db] as you hear.
No, no.
[Ab]
[F] [N]
Oh, thank you very much.
