Lyrics

Take all of your (Bb)wast ed hon or,

ev ’ry lit tle (Bb)past frus tra tion.

Take all of your (Bb)so called prob lems;

bet ter put ’em (Bb)in quo ta tions.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Walk ing like a (Bb)one man (Eb)ar my,

fight ing with the (Bb)shad ows (Eb)in your head.

Liv ing out the (Bb)same old (Eb)mo ment,

know ing you’d be (Bb)bet ter (Eb)off in stead.

If you could on (F)ly say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Have no fear for giv ing (F)in.

Have no fear for giv ing (F)o ver.

You bet ter know that in the (F)end it’s bet ter to say too much than nev er to say what you need to say a gain.

E ven if your (Bb)hands are shak ing

and your (Bb)faith is bro ken;

e ven as the (Bb)eyes are clos ing,

do it with a (Bb)heart wide o pen.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.

Say what you need to, say what you need to, say what you need to say.

Say what you need to say.
