Testo

[Intro]
| Ab  | - | Gm | - |
| Bbm | - | Eb | - |
| Ab  | - | -  | - |

[Verse 1]
Ab
Every generation
Dbmaj7
Blames the one before
    Ab
And all of their frustrations
     Dbmaj7
Come beating on your door
  Ebm/Gb
I 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                                       Ab
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

[Verse 2]
Ab
Crumpled bits of paper
       Dbmaj7
Filled with  imperfect thought
Ab
Stilted conversations
     Dbmaj7
I'm afraid that's all we've got
    Ebm/Gb
You say   you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
    Bbm
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
           Eb
We all talk  a different language
                  Ab
Talking in defence

[Chorus]
Ab            Dbmaj7
  Say it loud,      Oh Say it clear
Bbm   Eb          Ab
   as well as you hear
              Dbmaj7
It's too late,      Oh When we die
Bbm         Eb         Ab
   we don't see eye to eye

[Verse 3]
      Ab
So we open up a quarrel
        Dbmaj7
Between the   present and the past
     Ab
We only sacrifice the future
     Dbmaj7
It's the   bitterness that lasts
Ebm/Gb
So    don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
   Bbm
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
       Eb
And if you don't give up,
and don't give in
                 Ab
You may just be okay
                    Ab Dbmaj7
Say it, Say it, Say it       loud

[Chorus]
         Bbm
Oh Say it   clear
Eb         Ab
As well as you hear
Becouse It's too late,
        Dbmaj7
It's too      late
               Bbm
Oh, when we die
   Eb            Ab
We don't see eye to eye

[Verse 4]
Ab
I wasn't there that morning
     Dbmaj7
When my    father passed away
Ab
I didn't get to tell him
       Dbmaj7
All the      things I had to say
Ebm/Gb
I     think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
Bbm
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
  Eb
I just wish I could have told him
             Ab
In the living  years
                       Ab Dbmaj7
So Say it, Say it, Say it       loud

[Chorus]
         Bbm
Oh Say it   clear
Eb         Ab
As well as you hear
        Dbmaj7
It's too      late
                     Bbm
It's too late When we   die
   Eb            Ab
We don't see eye to eye
                            Ab
Hey! So Say it, Say it, Say it loud

[Fade Out]
   Dbmaj7
Say      Loud Oh Say it
