_ _ Every generation blames [Db] the one before _ And _ [Ab] all of their frustration _ _ _ [Db] competing on
your door _ Know _ [Gb] that I'm a prisoner to all my father
health so dear [Bbm] Know that I'm a hostage of all his hopes
and fears I [Eb] just wish I could have told him [Db] in [Ab] the living _ _ years
[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] Oh crumpled bits of paper _ Filled [Db] with imperfect _ _ thoughts
_ _ [Ab] Instilled to conversation _ _ I'm _ [Db] afraid that's all we've got
_ [Gb] You say you just don't see it You say there's perfect sense
[Bbm] Just can't get agreement In this present tense
We [Eb] all talk a different language [Db] Talking [Eb] in [Ab] defense
_ So _ say it loud _ _ Say _ [Db] it clear
_ _ You [Bbm] can _ listen [Eb] as well [Ab] As you hear
[Db] You know it's [Ab] too late It's too late
When [Db] we die _ _ _ To admit [Bbm] _
we [Eb] don't [Ab] see eye to _ eye
_ _ So we open the bottle _ _ Between [Db] the present and the past
_ We [Ab] always sacrifice the future _ It's [Db] the bitterness that _ lasts
_ _ [Gb] Don't give to the fortune You sometimes see it's fate
You [Bbm] may have a new perspective On a different day
[Eb] If you don't give up and don't give in [Ab] You may just [Eb] be [Ab] okay
_ _ So say it [Db] [Ab] loud _ _ _ _ Say [Db] it clear
_ _ You [Bbm] can listen [Eb] as well [Ab] As you hear
_ [Db] You know it's [Ab] too late _ It's too late
When [Db] we die _ _ _ To [Bbm] admit we [Eb] don't see eye [Ab] to _ _ _ eye
_ [Db] _ [Ab] Now wasn't there a moment _ _ When [Db] my father passed away
_ Didn't [Ab] get to tell him _ All [Db] the things I had to say
But I think [Gb] I caught his spirit Later that same [Bbm] year
I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's newborn tears
I [Ab] wish I could have told him In [Eb] the living [Ab] _ _
room
[Db] So say [Ab] it _ loud _ _ Say _ [Db] it clear
_ _ _ You [Bbm] can listen [Eb] as well As [Ab] you hear
_ _ You know it's too late _ It's too late
When [Db] _ _
we die To [Bbm] admit we [Eb] don't see eye to [Ab] eye
_ _ So say it loud _ _ _ _ Say [Db] it clear _
Come on say it clear now
_ [Ab] _ _
Don't give up, don't give in Don't [Db] you wait till it's too late
_ Say it [Ab] every single night
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
Just say it clear
_ _ [Ab] Don't give up, _ _ don't give in Don't [Db] you wait till it's too late
_ _ _ [Ab] Say it loud _ _ _ _ [Db] Say it clear
_ You _ _ [Bbm] can listen as [Eb] well _ As [Db] you hear
_ Don't _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ give up, don't give in Don't you wait till it's too late _ _
