A F#m
What you mean,.. what you mean..?
Bm E
What you mean,.. man,.. what you mean..?
A F#m
What you mean,.. yeah,.. what you see..?
Bm E
What you see,.. yeah,.. oh yeah
[Verse 1]~
A F#m
Well I need a little something to pull my head off
Bm E
Need a little something to pull my head off,.. yeah
A F#m Bm
Need a little something Because I've been running from the truth
E
Will never lose
A F#m
Lies come from loose teeth,.. tied to the noose
Bm E
Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold
A F#m Bm E
All the things I've seen but I've chosen to ignore
Bm E
Well,.. I said,.. well I believe I've been well fed,.. yeah
F#m E D
But the wolf's not dead
[Chorus]~
A F#m
Say what you love,.. it's alright
Bm E
Don't be afraid to find the light
A F#m
Embrace the day,.. like night
Bm
We hear the fire
E Bm
We all go wild again
E
And you have the name
F#m E D
Of someone I love
A F#m
You said,.. just keep it true,.. Lift up your name
Bm E
Seasons change,.. You know it'll never be the same
Bm
We'll see the sun again
E
Before it fades
F#m E D
I just wanna say that I love you
[Verse 2]~
A F#m
Pay the man,.. pay the man
Bm E
Got to pay the man,.. Run as fast as you can
A F#m
Call out to God,.. praise to the Most High
Bm E
Call out for help cause I'm playing with fire
A F#m
Call out to mountains till my voice goes faint
Bm E
Echoes through time that goes back with new strength
[Interlude]~
Bm
And when it's raining
F#m
We're sailing
Bm
Oh yeah,.. we're sailing
F#m
We're sailing
[Verse 3]~
A F#m
I'm off the leash,.. I go to war for peace
Bm E
Must've been touching everything that I can
A
I've got blood on my hands
F#m Bm
Guess I'm going deaf with the cry of this sin
E A
Please forgive me I don't understand
F#m Bm E A F#m
We all believe we've been well fed
Bm E
The deaf man heard what the mute man said
F#m E
Then they all followed where the blind man led
