Lyrics

Do you know where your heart is?

Do you think you can find it?

Or did you trade it for some thing some where?

(D)Bet ter just to have it.

Do you know where your love is?

Do you think that you lost it?

You felt it so strong, but your best ing’s

you’re (D)turned out how you want it.

Well, (A)bless my soul,

you’re a (Esus)lone ly soul

’cause you (F#m)won’t let go

of (D)an y thing you hold.

Well, (A)all I need

is the (Esus)air I breathe

and a (F#m)place to rest

my head.

Do you know what your fate is?

Are you try ing to shake it?

You’re do ing your best dance, your best look,

you’re (D)pray ing that you’ll make it.

Well, (A)bless my soul,

you’re a (Esus)lone ly soul

’cause you (F#m)won’t let go

of (D)an y thing you hold.

Well, (A)all I need

is the (Esus)air I breathe

and a (F#m)place to rest

my head.

Do you know what your fate

Say (A)all I need

is the (Esus)air I breathe

and a (F#m)place to rest

my head.

Do you think you can find it?

Do you think you can find it?

Do you think you can find it

(D)bet ter than you had it?

Do you think you can find it?

Do you think you can find it?

Do you think you can find it

(D)bet ter than you had it?

Do you think you can find (D)bet ter than you had it?

Say (A)all I need

is the (Esus)air I breathe

and a (F#m)place to rest

my head.

Say (A)all I need

my head.

Say Do you know where the end is?

Do you think you can see it?

Well, un til you get there, go on,

(D)go a head and scream it;

just say...

Is there a karaoke version of "Say" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Say" by OneRepublic. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Say" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in A, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Say" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
